Thanks! :)
Is there a way to replicate these actions when using the Windows+E key rather than the taskbar icon please? I can;t find where the exploere.exe is invoked from. Thanks.
Hello David, and welcome to Seven Forums.
I'm not sure if there's a way to change what Windows+E opens to, but you could use the tutorial below to create your own keyboard shortcut for say a pinned Windows Explorer set to open to how you like instead.

nice. very. nice. indeed.
thank you once again, brink, for this insight. :)
This one opens Explorer as a new process:
It might come in handy if you are working with an app that sometimes crashes Explorer. You'll only crash this new instance of Explorer and not take down the whole desktop.Code:%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /N,::{ceff45ee-c862-41de-aee2-a022c81eda92}
It also seems to help some people speedup certain file operations:
Copying and deleting speeds slow
Yep, actually most of the options in the tutorial already do this. Thank you for reminding me. :)
It's the part in black below that opens explorer in a new process. the optional part in red with the GUID/CLSID number specifies what explorer opens to.
%windir%\explorer.exe /n,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
No worries mate. I know how you feel. It's not hard to get turned around at all with this.
By default, if the GUID/CLSID is an invalid location, it just opens to "My Documents".
