See the article: Command-Line
Switches for Windows Explorer
.
To get a two pane Explorer window with nothing expanded use the following in your
shortcut:
Target: C:\Windows\EXPLORER.EXE /e,/select
Start in: \

I tried it out in Win2000, and all I got was a error box. However, after I removed
the arguments after ".exe", everything was fine except that "My documents" is already
opened.
Does anybody knows the arguments for Win2000 that everything is closed?

Hehe! this crashes my explorer :-)
To do this is simple, get into explorer, then tools->options->view settings
uncheck "remember each folder settings"
so simple,
cheers

After many trials and misses, I can unequivocally agree that the last one (%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe
/n, /e,) is definitely the best and shortest route to having explorer open up with
just "My Computer" highlighted in the left pane, and nothing expanded in the right
pane...
