Many thanks to Paul & Mark for two perfect (and slightly different) solutions to my problem.

Just to complete my education, I should be most grateful if you could explain the significance of the "/n," and "/e," switches.

Windows XP Professional Version 2002, (SP3)

I use following shortcut from my desktop - "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe C:\" (run Maximized).

Every time Windows Explorer opens, the window always displays a panel (on the left hand side) with "System Tasks", "File & Folder Tasks", "Other Places" and "Details". Consequently, I need to click on the Folders icon, to display the folder structure.

I want the Windows Explorer window to open directly from the desktop shortcut with the Folder List on the left hand side - not the Descriptions panel (as with previous Windows versions).

I have tried changing various options via Tools | Folder Options | View - without success. Is there any easy way to change the default setting by editing the shortcut or the registry?
