Windows Explorer Layout
I tried that and it doesn't seem to work.
How do I get it to NOT expand the 'appdata' by default? I want to right click the Start button and hit explore without it showing a list a mile long. I have to collapse the folders just to get to a basic view every single time. e.g. This is what I want c: \users \myname I'm currently getting this c: \users \myname \appdata \roaming \microsoft etc. etc. etc..... it just keeps going. Any one..... Any one???

Can anyone help me? Would be very appreciated! Thanks Hello, You are half way there! 1) You need to browse to a standard folder. For example, your C:\ drive from Computer will work nicely. 2) Set up the window the way you want it 3) Click Organize - Folder Options 4) Click the View tab 5) Click Apply to Folder 6) Click Yes to confirm your intentions Also note that there are a few special folders that do things their own way, such as your Pictures folder and Videos folder ... you will have to set them up individually. - JB |

I'm sorry Pustoolio, but this is OK.
Start menu is located in that folder and you just pressed to explore it. This is the same on XP. If you are just trying to open the Explorer from the context menu of Start button, I guess you would have to add that item in registry. Jan "Pustoolio" wrote in message ...
