Default Location When Windows Explorer Opens 1

[TallOne]

Here's an easy one. How do I set the default location when Windows Explorer opens. It alwasys defaults to my documents. Navigating to my desired network folder is irritating. Browsing "My Computer" does not do this, but I can't break the habit of using Win Explorer! TIA

It's a simple matter of right clicking the Windows Explorer icon,
selecting Properties and changing what's entered in the Target
line on the Shortcut tab. For instance, entering the following in
the Target line will cause Explorer to open to your C drive:

%systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,C:\

Thanks for the info everyone. I usually right click on the start button and select Explore, especially when I remote into other pcs/servers. I don't see the changes affecting this functionality.

Thanks for the info linney! Rather than creating a shortcut, I'll just consider the inconvenience a really small one.
