PM, Thanks for the "C:\WINDOWS\TIPS.TXT" tip! The Explorer switches are very cool: Windows Explorer Switches ------------------------- Windows Explorer switches are useful in creating rooted folders: Explorer [/e,][/root,<object>,] [[<folder>]\| [/select, <sub object>]] /e Use Explorer view (scope and results pane view). The default is open view (results in pane view only). /root<object> Specify the object in the "normal" name space that is used as the root (top level) for Windows Explorer. The default is the Desktop folder. /select The parent folder opens and the specified object is selected. <sub object> The folder or file that Windows Explorer opens. If the /select switch is used, the sub object is highlighted. If the /select switch is not used, the folder or file opens in Explorer. The default is the root<object>. Examples: Explorer /e, /root, \\Reports Opens an Explorer window at \\Reports. Explorer /select, C:\Windows\Calc.exe Opens a folder at C:\Windows (or activates one that is currently open), and selects Calc.exe. Explorer /e, /root, \Source\Internal\Design\Users\David\Archive Opens a folder to the Archive folder. This is a good way to create a dedicated, remote, documents archive folder. A link to the \\Source\Internal\Design\Users\David\Archive folders can then be placed in the SendTo folder for quick routing of documents. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ By using a shortcut to "Explorer /e, /root, \\D" Explorer opens right to my D drive. I've trying to figure out how to change where explorer opens to for years.
