Hi Marc,
This involves changing the properties of the Windows Explorer shortcut. Right-click on the shortcut and select the shortcut tab. In this tab, edit the target line to read as follows (note that the default target is %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe): %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n, /root, c:\ /select, c:\[FOLDER] where [FOLDER] is the path to the desired folder.

In you case, "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e ,c:\" (without the quotes) should do the trick.

Hi, Marc.
In addition to the other suggestions... I don't ALWAYS want to open Windows Explorer in E:\, but I want to open that folder quite often. So I clicked Computer, then right-clicked on E: and Create Shortcut. Then I dragged that shortcut from the Desktop to my Quick Launch and clicked Move Here. Now I can open E:\ in Explorer with a single click on that shortcut icon. ;) On my Desktop, I have several shortcut icons that open Explorer to different folders, but my Desktop is usually hidden so it's nice to have the one that I use most often always available in QL.
