Glen,
I asked someone on a forum like this to help me make the same change. He was able
to write a very short, one-liner that I ran and it changed the pointer for the right-click,
start, explore so that it opened the C:\ root directory. I wish I still had that
little fix, but I have since lost it. I believe it was written in VBScript, but
I am not sure.
If anyone knows what I am talking about and can tackle it, I would love to make that
change.
