Force Explorer to Start With the Folder You Want Few things in Windows are more irritating than the way that Explorer always opens in the same folder (C:\ for Windows 95/98, My Documents for Windows Me/2000/XP). If you have an entry in your Start Menu to run Explorer, you can change it to "Explore" at the folder of your choice: * Open Explorer, and go to your Start Menu folder. * Find the shortcut for Explorer, right click on it, and select Properties. * Click on the Shortcut tab, and change the Target so it reads: c:\windows\EXPLORER.EXE /n, /e, c:\start Folder (where c:\windows is your Windows directory, and d:\myfolder is the directory in which you want Explorer to start.)
