Exploer opens My Docs first?

[omegaRED]

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:

Jord.

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

WinKey + E will open explorer at "My Computer".

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!
