Open Explorer to the Right Folder
Bart Dehaese of Veltem, Belgium, asks how to change the folder that Windows Explorer defaults to when you open it from the Start menu. Right-click the Windows Explorer icon and select Properties. Click the Shortcut tab. The target field should contain something like 'C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE'. Add /n, /e, "path" to that, where path is your desired default folder. For instance, to have Explorer open to My Documents, you'd use the full command C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE /n, /e, "C:\My Documents". Click OK to close the dialog box.
