Hi all,

problably an easy question for most of you,

When I start the explorer from the startmenu (right mouse button
explorer) the explorer opens and unfolds thereby several folders. The
list seems to get longer every time.

Folding the folders and reopening explorer does not help. I have to
scroll up every time to get to the main folders of 'my computer'.
How can I change the default status of unfolded folders?

Thx,

Bas

Create desktop shortcuts to the folders you want Explorer to open in.

Hi Bas,

This will show you how to change the Windows Explorer shortcut so it
will open like Computer without opened folders in the folder tree.

Use: "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe C:\,/select" (no quotes)

thax Bob, but can it not be done otherwise? I would like the default
action to bave like this.

The issue is how you are starting explorer not explorer itself.

See when you right click on the start menu button it thinks you want to
browse the Start Menu location not the Root of your Computer. This action
can't be changed that I'm aware of.

Some other comments here will show you how to get a shortcut to the location
you want.
