re: "Folders" in task pane in explorer by default? Sunday, March 19, 2006 at 2:23 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by C. Kang (1 messages posted) i guess you mean the window that you open "My Computer" or "My Documents" by double clicking it with your mouse. Well, usually i hide all the desktop items. So i dont have My Computer or My Documents. But i have them as shortcuts on the Toolbar (where those shortcuts is right next to "Start" button). Here's what i do. Open a window and go to "Windows" folder. If you set show all files in the folder (maybe no need it) you will see two files: explorer 1KB <-- originally explorer.scf explorer.exe 973KB Copy and make shortcuts of these 2 files on the desktop. Then you will see what you want. These 2 shortcuts will do the following: explorer(.scf) will open your system drive (eg. C:). explorer.exe will open "My Documents" Hope i give you a hint for your question.
