Open Windows Exporer in Any Directory

[Shikhar]

Most people start the Windows-Explorer by clicking on a shortcut to the Windows-Explorer program. Or by Pressing Windows key with "E".

One of my friend use to open it by some other way, but i cant find that.

Could any one of you have idea about any way of opening Windows Explorer ?

Noramlly the Windows-Explorer starts in the "My Documents" Directory. If you want Windows-Explorer to start in a different Directory, just follow the steps below:

1. Right-Click the shortcut to the Windows-Explorer


2. Choose "Properties"


3. On the "Shortcut" Tab, you see something like:

"Target: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" (without the quotes).


4. You have to change this into:

"%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n, /e, D:\" (without quotes).

Instead of "D:\" you can choose any path you like. In the example above, windows-explorer will start in "D:\".

Thats it..

If you choose Start, all Programs, Accessories, and then right-click on Windows Explorer and choose Properties, you can modify the "Target" directory.

To go to your C: drive, type simply C:\ in the Target box and choose OK.

You can also enter a shortcut key on this screen, telling Windows the character or combination of characters you want to type to automatically open Windows Explorer.

You can even change the icon or specify that you always want Explorer to open up in full-screen mode.
