Change start directory in Window explorer?

When starting Window explorer, how do I tell it to start in a specific directory, instead of the ';Start Menu';?Change start directory in Window explorer?
Easy as pie. Right click on the Windows Explorer link you want to use and select properties.

Ok, here the first ';Target'; box should say something like %systemroot%\explorer.exe

After this make 1 space and type: /n,/e,c:\

It will look like this:

%systemroot%\explorer.exe /n,/e,c:\

It will now start in c:\. Youcan make a path to any drive and path you wantand you can make as many different ones to start in different directories.



Hope thsi helps!Change start directory in Window explorer?
