My Document Folder
This is a discussion about My Document Folder in the Windows Software category; Hey, I removed My Documents from my Desktop, but when I run Windows Explorer, it lists My Documents at the top right under Desktop and defaults to it instead of My Computer. Is there any way to change the order of the items on the left tool bar in Windows Explorer or make it default to My Computer instead of My Doc ...

Simply click on the Start Button, choose Programs, Accessories, and then RIGHT-CLICK on Windows Explorer. Click on Properties. In the Target: entry area, click at the end of the text that should read %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe. Add a space and then the path of where you want the explorer to open to. Note: This will actually turn the explorer into the Open command.
Add "/e," before the path of where you want explorer to open to to force Windows Explorer into explore mode.
Example:
...\explorer.exe /e,c:\winnt
will force explorer to open a window starting at c:\winnt in explore mode.
Hope this helps!

OP
Sweet...that did the trick. Thanks a lot
Is there a way to make it open in "List" view instead of "Large Icon" view?
Thanks
Thanks
go to Tools, Folder Options there's a setting there to have all folders remember the settings...I don't remember exactly what is, I'm at work and on a 98 machine
