I have the same annoyance for shortcuts I created on my desktop. I just figured out
a way to solve it within Windows XP...
After you create your shortcut, go into the Properties settings for that shorcut.
In the "Target" field, type in the following prior to the target of your shortcut:
C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /e,
For example, if a shortcut you created has a Target of
"C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\My Documents\My Pictures",
your revised Target would be
C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /e,"C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\My Documents\My Pictures"
I picked the customizing settings for Windows Explorers at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q307856.
I hope this helps!
Steve
