Using Windows 95 Explorer Starting Folder Paul Jones
Can Windows Explorer show the contents of D:Myfolder instead of its default setting, the root of C:?
Right-click on the Start button and choose Explore, then look in the Programs folder for a shortcut called Windows Explorer. Right-click on the shortcut and choose Properties. Click on the Shortcut tab. Depending on where you've installed Windows, the entry in the Target box should look something like C:WindowsExplorer.exe /n, /e, C:. That command starts Explorer; the /e switch causes it to start in the tree-and-list Explorer view (as opposed to the one-pane folder view), and the C: tells Explorer where to begin. (The /n switch--which theoretically forces Explorer to start in a brand new window--in fact does absolutely nothing here. Play with it and you'll see.) To convince Explorer to open with the contents of D:Myfolder showing in the right pane, edit the entry in the Target box to read C:WindowsExplorer.exe /e, D:Myfolder. Note that you can also use this trick on shortcuts you create on the desktop, on the Start menu, or even in program launchers such as the Microsoft Office Shortcut Bar.
