windows explorer display

How do I get windows explorer to open with the contents of
the c: drive already expanded to show its folders as the
default, instead of a compressed view of the contents of
the computer?

Thanks

Right click the shortcut to Windows Explorer and type the following in the
Target line.

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,c:

(space between / and e,)

Apply/OK.

Or ... just change the .exe to .scf in the Explorer shortcut. i.e. =
%systemroot%\explorer.scf
