[Michael Thal]

You're right.

C:\WINDOWS\explorer.scf

in the Target window when you select the Shortcut tab.

Find the shortcut you use to launch it (usually Start - All Programs -
Accessories - Windows Explorer

R-click - Properties and set the Target line as
C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /e,/select,C:\

to open in my computer with C: selected.
If you add a folder name - say Windows
. . /e,/select,C:\Windows
C: will be open, Windows selected, etc. If you use a folder with a
space, surround by quotes
. . . /e,/select,"C:\Program Files"
