Windows Explorer Question

[beavereater]

How do you get Windows Explorer to automatically open to a certain directory like My Computer? I've done it before but forgot...and I can't seem to find it through Google..

[lumis]

create a shortcut and set the target to something like;

"C:\porn\hardcore\extreme hardcore\hyperporn\ridiculous"

[beavereater]

So there's no actual option within explorer?

[beavereater]

OK...whats the path to My Computer? Again, googled it and got something about the path to being a lesbian...

So you really did hack into my computer with your lame-ass sig.

In the "Target" box for the shortcut put:

C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE /n,/e,c:\thisdir\

Replace "c:\thisdir\" in the example above with the drive and directory you want Windows Explorer to open at.

The "/n" parameter tells windows to open a new instance of Windows Explorer.
The "/e" parameter says to open Windows Explorer in the default view.

Microsoft has a page with the commandline options for Windows Explorer here if you want more details.
