You can make Windows Explorer start in whatever folder or drive you want! I always found it really annoying how it would start in "My Documents", which after a while has so many subfolders in it that you have to scroll and find My Computer, and the drive you want to get to, etc.

This is EASY.

  1. Right click on the shortcut you use for Windows Explorer and go to properties.
  2. In the "Target path:" field on the "Shortcut" tab, add the following to the end of whatever is there: /e,c:

Your end result should look something like this:

%SystemRoot%explorer.exe /e,c:

Note: Change the c: to whatever path you want Windows Explorer to start at.
