Since Windows lets you do it without a fight, I chose to rename My
Documents. It produces a lot of registry clutter but I think I navigated
through that OK (he says). I should have thought of this before I posted and
I apologize if I sent you all over the internet.
Of course the law of unintended consequences immediately kicked in and now
Explorer goes to the right place (the same place) but the right hand
Explorer pane defaults to the "large icon" view, but, what the H, I'll
wrestle with that one for awhile and if no luck post back.

I'd like to get Exporer to open up where I want it to within the
profile
that it's launched. Currently the "start in" box says: <
%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%>, which starts it in C:\Documents and
Settings\rff\My
Documents.
According to "Windows 98 Annoyances" the file path language (which
is quite
different from the above) includes a notation for the folder "Tree
View" (as
opposed to the unexpanded single folder setting) and a command to
permit
multiple openings of Explorer, in case these issues figure into a
solution.
A systemwide command applicable to all profiles, which is what <
%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%> sounds like, would be fine, but it's not
necessary.
Most of the time I use Powerdesk98, but there are times when you need
Explorer and what I'd prefer is <C:\Documents and
Settings\rff\Desktop\Docs>.
TIA
