Change pinned Windows Explorer to open Computer

7Tweaker - Change pinned windows explorer shortcut

Hello everyone,

I'm totally new to these forums but I wanted my pinned windows explorer shortcut on my taskbar to open Computer instead of Libraries.

So I've figured it out and wrote a application for it.

It will open anything you select from the list. (Thanks Brink for the list)

Program is attached.

It'd be nice to see some replies regarding this.

P.S App is written in C# for those who wonder...

W7ExplorerShortcut is the console application that only allows you to set it to open My Computer.
7Tweaker is the GUI application that gives you a list of options.

Thank you very much, Freckle. Most everybody here is using a shortcut.

%windir%\explorer.exe shell:MyComputerFolder

There is also a tutorial on how to do this here.

I already expected there were tutorials out there on how to.
But I think this app makes it quite easier for some of us.

Either way I enjoyed making it and learning from it.

It is good to enjoy creating and learning. It is good to share.

It is absolutely unwise to download or install a program from someone that you have never heard of. Especially if the link is labeled something like, "Trust me, this won't hurt at all".

Welcome to SF. May your stay here be long and prosperous.

And yes I was also thinking about that, I got rid of it now.
