Same problem here, and my great configuration of folder views got lost with just a click at a button. But I'm used to doing stuff at least 77 times (since I'm a Windows users so...) But I would really like to see some smart guy figure out how to really get explorer on its knees and obey my needs, and to post the solution here. Anyone? My needs: Start in a certain folder on a certain drive AND displaying the folders to the left. Cheers, Fredrik
