I know this is not a new question, but I've been unable to find the
answer to my very specific request, as follows:

When I right click on the Start menu, select Explore and left
click, I would like Windows Explorer to open to a folder of my
choosing. Every one of the many solutions I've found on the Web
either:

1) have you create a shortcut and click on it, or
2) have you modify the properties of the
Start/Programs/Accessories/Windows Explorer shortcut which already
exists.

Either one of those I can do. That's not what I want. What I want
to do is right-click on Start, select Explore, left click and
Windows Explorer opens to a folder of my choosing.
If this is not possible, please let me know so that I'll stop
looking. :-)

Thanks in advance,
Carl


Go to properties for Windows Explorer and make the target say

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

in order to have WE open to c:\.

Modify this to your needs.

I hope this is what you are asking.

Well, that's the right answer but to an entirely different question!

That's what I get for trying to help.
Momma didn't teach me to read very well.
I think you have your answer now.
Sorry about that.
