If you use Windows Explorer, you may want to start looking in a particular folder.
Steps
1. Open Explorer, and go to your Start Menu folder.
2. Find the shortcut for Explorer, right click on it, and select Properties.
3. Click on the Shortcut tab, and change the Target so it reads: c:\windows\EXPLORER.EXE /e, d:\myfolder (where c:\windows is your Windows directory, and d:\myfolder is the directory in which you want Explorer to start.)
Tips
Tip: To have Explorer start with My Computer, so no branches are initially expanded, use the following command line options: /n, /e, /select, c:\
Note: this won't work if you try to start Explorer by right-clicking on the Start Menu. Just put a shortcut to EXPLORER.EXE in the top level of your Start Menu folder for easy access
To launch the Desktop as the default folder, use the following Target: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,%USERPROFILE%\Desktop
