Hello fellow NG members

Yesterday I asked for help in changing the default opening of
Windows
Explorer in the "My Computer" mode and received excellent
advice fro
another NG contributor which makes it open with the C:/ drive
highlighted. using the setting below.

On the Explorer properties click on Shortcut Tab and make
these
changes:
Target: [ %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, C:\ ]

Start in: [ %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% ]

I know that most XP systems are set to open in "My Documents"
but
although it is only a minor issue I would like to make the
change to
"My Computer" as the default.

Not a major issue just the curiosity of an aging brain.

Hitting the Windows + E keys at the same time will launch
Windows Explorer opened at My Computer. Note; The Windows key
is located between Ctrl and Alt on the left side of your
keyboard.

Good luck
