How can I set Windows Explorer to open showing Drive C exppanded? The way it
opens now it My Docs, My Music and other "My" folders that I do not use.
Finally My Computer that I have to expand in order display my 3 hard drives.
Isn't there some way I can change that?
Thanks, Hank

And also investigate opening it from the keyboard with Win+E - not
exactly what you want, but useful to know about.

I thought that was what was wanted. (I'm not sure what "open a folder"
means in the context of IE.)
