Guest Stu Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 I recently had a major system crash and had to replace my hard drive and reload XPpro. I remember getting a simple suffix to add to the command explorer.exe that would open explorer so that C:/ would already be expanded. Can anyone refresh my memory of this? Thanks in advance.

Start | All Programs | Accessories. Right click on Windows Explorer | Properties. In the Target Field, you will see: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe add a space and then: /e,c:\ Click Apply and you're good to go. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA
