Beginner with Vista Question

Hi, I am wondering if there is a beginners group.
I have Vista on my computer & I am a beginner .
I would like to know how to get the C folder to open automatically in the
Navigation panel in WindowsExp
instead of opening in Documents?
Cheers Wendy

See if pressing the "windows" key and the "e" together serves your purpose.

Hi,

Create a shortcut to Windows Explorer, then right click it and choose
properties. Change the target to:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, C:\

Click apply/ok.

Things can be touchy at times when using parameters or trying to pass
parms into a program.

As an example %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe/e you'll notice no *space*
between exe/e could cause the statement to fail.

So both statements may look correct. But is one syntacticly correct?

actually in one there is a space after the comma and before the C:\
that is the correct syntax
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, C:\
