Guest KiwiBrian Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 For quite a long time I have used the following shortcut successfully to display the expanded contents of my D drive when launched. %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n,/e,D: This no longer works correctly since the last Windows Update, which may be coincidental. How can I restore the desired launch display behaviour? TIA

Guest Ron Badour Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Re: WE behaviour change Did you cut and paste: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n,/e,D: or type it in your post? Sometimes a space (or lack of one) will cause problems. I cut and pasted the above to a WE shortcut and it worked as it was supposed to. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2007 "KiwiBrian" <briantoz@ihug.co.nz> wrote in message news:f82e2g$578$1@lust.ihug.co.nz... > For quite a long time I have used the following shortcut successfully to > display the expanded contents of my D drive when launched. > > %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n,/e,D: > > This no longer works correctly since the last Windows Update, which may be > coincidental. > How can I restore the desired launch display behaviour? > TIA >

What exactly happens when you try? I cut and pasted the string from the Properties Dialog Box and have rechecked so know that the string is correct. When I select the Shortcut the D partition is selected, but not expanded. It should be expanded, as it used to be. Thanks everyone for trying to help. An inconvenience, and a puzzle, rather than a problem.
Guest Bill Drake Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Re: WE behaviour change There is a known problem with complexity-limits for the number of root-connected folders that can be buffered when you auto-expand to a target subfolder (which is what the /e,<targetfolder> switch does). The last time I checked this, the limit was 100 subfolders off the root before auto-expand stalled. Try lowering the complexity of your target-partition's root-subfolder structure (make a set of group subfolders off the root and move bunches of your current subfolders into those group subfolders). Hope this helps. Best I can do for now. <tm> Bill KiwiBrian wrote: > For quite a long time I have used the following shortcut successfully > to display the expanded contents of my D drive when launched. > > %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n,/e,D: > > This no longer works correctly since the last Windows Update, which > may be coincidental. > How can I restore the desired launch display behaviour? > TIA
