    Changing Default Folders?


    Is there a way to change the default folder in Windows Explorer? Right now it points to / opens the Documents folder under my library. However, my main 'documents' folder resides on another internal drive (D:/My Documents) which I copied in from XP. I would prefer that when I open my Explorer, it points to that folder.

    How do I go about revising the default folder?

    stelorone:

    Windows Explorer Taskbar Icon - Change Open To Target

    1. Right-click Windows Explorer and choose Properties
    2. Under Target field, which reads %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe, change the line to read: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n, /e, /select, C:\
    3. Click OK

    This will cause WE to open in the root directory of the C: Drive.
    Change the path as needed. Make several shortcuts if you want.
