Default hide explore folders

I have a folder in drive c that I "explore" frequently.
I want to find a way to hide all folders except this
folders' subfolders.

In other words, I want to se c:/folder in the "folders"
pane at the left, but not c:/windows, c:/program files,
and the other contents of c.

Another thing that would work is to have my folder act as
the root folder, not displaying the folders above it. I
have seen something like this in the console.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Right click the shortcut to Windows Explorer and select Properties/Shortcut
tab.

In the Target line, enter the following path:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe C:\your folder

Where your folder is the folder you want to be displayed and open. In the
Run line, select "Maximized" from the drop down menu. (Note the space
between exe and C

Apply/OK and double click the shortcut.

I already have it set up that way. Great tip, by the
way. That is not what I need.

I use the folder and it's contents a lot, but nothing
else in "explore" view. I want everything in the explore
pane to dissapear except that folder and its contents.
