I have a comment about Force
Explorer to Start With the Folder You Want:
There is a flexible/useful complement or alternative. Right-drag your desired folder
icon to Start > Programs > Startup (or to
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\ ), and choose Create
Shortcut.
When you boot, that folder, and any other items you insert links to, will open.
I use this for a daily text log (Daily.LOG) and a daily links folder (\Daily links\), which I use
to keep handy searchable reference notes & links to the wide variety of projects
I work on. 'What was I doing last Tuesday?' 'What did I name that file?' ... All
accumulates in those 2 handy desktop windows.
See Start > Help > Startup > "Start a program each..." for 'less' about this useful
mechanism.
