Guest GusGus Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 When I right click the Start Button and select “Explore,” Windows Explore opens up with the Start Menu highlighted. Is there a way I can change this to having the “C:\” permanently highlighted instead? My Folder tree is so long that the Start menu is off the screen, causing me to have to scroll up to the C:\ folder which I would rather have highlighted in the first place! Any help would be greatly appreciated. GusGus
