Windows Explorer

As it is when I bring up WE it opens the tree at "desktop\bob\documents"
I'd like it to open at "desktop\computer folder" Can I do this? It's not
a big deal but I'd sure like to change it.

Thanx for any help,
Bob

What I've done is to open "My Computer" and right click on the drive that
you want Explorer to open with and select "Create Shortcut" and then drag
the new shortcut to the desktop. When you double click that shortcut
Explorer will open to the root of the drive you created the shortcut to ( in
my case I have a shortcut for each hard drive).
HTH,
Bob ( a different one!)

Maybe this will help.

Configure Windows Explorer
