  • Exploer opens My Docs first?

    Look, it`s a really stupid thing, but it`s bothering me. I reformatted my HD, and did a fresh install of WinME ( interesting, prior to the format, my Registry was 12Mb, and now, with almost all the Progs installed i had earlier, it`s 7.5Mb, so it had 4.5Mb of CRAP in it ). OK, so before, when i started Windows Explorer, it went directly to C:, but now, it goes to My Documents. It`s not much, but how can i set it up to open C: or My Computer instead of My Documents? It`s just a few mouse-clicks away, but it`s annoying doing it everytime i close it and then start it again.

    If anyone replies, thanx.

    Find Windows Explorer in the Start->Programs->Accessories. Rightclick the Windows Explorer there and choose properties.

    In Target type C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE /e and press Apply, then OK.

    Now if you choose the Win Explorer, it will open on C:

    P.S: Another way to open up Explorer is to rightclick the Start button and choosing Explore. You'll start in the Startmenu then

        Thank you OmegaRed for posting on this topic. This has bugged the hell out of me since I installed ME in Nov'00. I hated this supposed feature. And thank you Jordan for telling us how to fix this! Works like a charm. Copy and paste, wuhoooo!
