Guys,
When I open windows explorer it always opens with "c" drive expanded.
I am at work and link to a server like I would imagine most do. I commonly work off the servers "s" drive. Because the "c" drive is expanded "s" drive is off the screen and I need to scroll or close "c" drive to find and view the "s"drive. Can this be customised so when i open windows explorer it automatically opens with "c" drive closed and "s" drive expanded ?

I hope i was clear enough with what I would like to do, any assitance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Stephen

Yes, it can be done.

This site gives the "switches" that you append to the shortcut link to the executable.

Hi, Here is one way to open what you want, but the s drive will be expanded, maybe that will work for you, take a look>

A shortcut on your desktop would do the same thing.

Double Helix suggestion, I think would be best for you. Hold the right mouse key on the windows explorer menu entry and drag it onto the desktop and create a copy or a shortcut. right click the (now) desktop icon and suubstitute the C: for S: you could also add on the end this string, (which would includes the S: of course) /e, /n, S:\

You can adjust the default startup location for Windows Explorer within the registry. I presume when you start Windows Explorer you want it to start somewhere other than C:\

If you are comfortable adjusting the registry (backing up beforehand obviously) then please post here and I will try to explain how.
