How do I change which folder/location Windows Explorer opens to when I run it by pressing Windows-E? I'd like for it to open in My Documents instead of at the root of Computer.



I've found references for explorer.exe command line options, but I don't know how to apply those options to Windows-E.

          It's a change in the Windows registry:



          HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTFoldershellexplorecommand


          change the value to (example):



          %SystemRoot%Explorer.exe /separate,/e,C:Program Files


          You can use "%HOMEPATH%My Documents" for your home path ("My documents").



          Be careful when you change registry entries!



          Here are some other options for explorer.exe:



          Explorer.exe Command-Line Options for Windows XP




          /n Opens a new single-pane window for the default
          selection. This is usually the root of the drive that
          Windows is installed on. If the window is already
          open, a duplicate opens.

          /e Opens Windows Explorer in its default view.

          /root, <object> Opens a window view of the specified object.

          /select, <object> Opens a window view with the specified folder, file,
          or program selected.

          • I can't get this to work on Win7. Do you write the string to the Default value, i.e.: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTFoldershellexplorecommand] "DelegateExecute"="11dbb47c-a525-400b-9e80-a54615a090c0" @="%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /separate,/e,C:\Program Files" I tried this, then rebooted, but no luck. Thanks for any help, Stefan!
