I have a tip regarding: Can
I change the folder used by Explore in Start Menu's context menu?:
You CAN change the 'Explore' command's default behaviour but in changing it for the
Start Menu you will change if for all other instances where the Explore command is
on your right click window (e.g. in my explorer).
Another option is to create an additional command which will open an Explorer window
focussing on whatever folder you choose. To do this copy the text below to notepad,
save it as a .reg file and double click on it (this is a w2k regedit).
Note that this will create an extra command called 'ExploreC' which will open explorer
at the root of the C drive.
Advanced Options:
- To REPLACE the Explore command simply replace ExploreC with Explore whereever it
appears below.
- To get explorer to open elsewhere replace c: with your path using double '\'s -
e.g. C:\\program Files
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\ExploreC]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\ExploreC\Command]
@="%SystemRoot%\\Explorer.exe /e, /idlist,%I,%L"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\ExploreC\ddeexec]
@="[ExploreFolder(\"%l\", c:, %S)]"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\ExploreC\ddeexec\Application]
@="Explorer"
