Create a shortcut to Windows Explorer on the desktop. Right-click on this shortcut
and select Properties from the menu. Add the following to the Target
field (without the "): " /e,c:\"

Made the shortcut to read "C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe/e,c:\
When I click to apply or ok, it gives the message:
"THE NAME 'C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe/e,c:\'
specified in the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and filename are correct."
And will not apply the changes..
Any suggestions..
And thanks for working with me and for your prompt reply.

How did you go about it ?
What (exactly happened) ?
Thanks
