Hi,
How do I make the Folders sidebar the default when clicking on My
Computer, or My Documents from the Start Menu? I like the default
sidebar but 99% of the time I am interested in browsing the file system,
not performing system tasks related to that specific branch.

Thanks

Jesse Beaumont

Thanks, that works. Does it have other side effects? I noticed, after I
did it, I had to add my password to all my newsgroup subscriptions to
the password manager in Mozilla, that's the first time I've ever had to
do that, I've been running Mozilla for a long time and I'm brand new (1
week old) to XP.

No side effects that I know of...However, I've never used Mozilla.
