Question about 'Get Find/Search to Look Where You Want'

I have a question about Get
Find/Search to Look Where You Want:
I have a question about Get
Find/Search to Look Where You Want:
I have 2 partitions on my hd C:\ and D:\
I tried this:
Solution #1:
Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE).
Open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ Directory\ shell\ find\ ddeexec.
Double-click on (Default), and replace the value with "[FindFolder("C:\", C:\)]"
(or whatever directory you wish).
Now...
When I go search "for files and folders" in the start menu, it still starts the search
with Local Hard Drives (C:;D:).
I want it to just start with Local Disk (C:) every time. How can I change this to
make it do it. I also have tried making the reg key say this "[FindFolder("C:\")]"
but it still starts the search with Local Hard Drives (C:;D:).
Thanks in advance :)
