Question about 'My Documents'

[duragezic]

This is a pretty minor quirk but if I could get it how I want it, it'd be nice.

When I load windows explorer, it goes by default to the 'my documents' folder, with the my computer part closed. Is there anyway I can have it automatically have the tree down so I can see all my drives when I load up explorer?

I don't use my documents... so I tried deleting it but it just comes back and hiding the directory doesn't work either.

Try this:

explorer.exe /e, /n

It doesn't open it to My Computer it opens it to the C: but that should still list your drives. If you want you could look up "Explorer Switches" on Google.

And you can't delete the My Documents folder. Sorry

To make Windows Explorer open all of your drives instead of going to "My Documents" do the following:
(this works for any explorer shortcut by the way...)


Right mouse click the shortcut on your Start menu or desktop --- Select Properties
In the "Target" field, replace what is currently there with this


%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}


This will make Windows Explorer always default to My Computer and will automatically expand all of your drives you have/are connected to.


Hope this helps!
