Take two.

What do I add to the line below to have Windows Explorer open up showing "My
Computer"? I was able to set up the shortcut to open the C or D drive, but I
want to show everything under "My Computer"... Please fill in the info for
me...

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe

Thanks,
Mike


Kadaitcha Man, don't be suck a jackass in your responses to everyone... I
thought this was a place to get help..


I learned of this tweak at tweakxp.com:

Syntax
EXPLORER.EXE [/n][/e][,/root, ][[,/select],]
Switches
/n: Opens a new window in single-paned (My Computer) view for each item
selected, even if the new window duplicates a window that is already open.

/e: Uses Windows Explorer view. Windows Explorer view is most similar to File
Manager in Windows version 3.x. Note that the default view is Open view.

/root, : Specifies the root level of the specified view. The default is to use
the normal namespace root (the desktop). Whatever is specified is the root for
the display.

/select,: Specifies the folder to receive the initial focus. If "/select" is
used, the parent folder is opened and the specified object is selected.
