    Change Windows Explorer target

    Windows Explorer by default opens with the Documents folder. To change this to open your root drive do the following:

    Programs > Accessories.
    Right click Windows Explorer and select Send To > Desktop (create shortcut).

    Right click the desktop shortcut and in the Target box you should see %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe

    Delete that line and replace with: C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE /n,/e,C:\ and click apply.

    Note: replace the C with the letter of your drive Vista is installed on.

    The Windows Explorer shortcut will now expand the root drive.

    This also works with previous Windows versions.
