Change the Default folder in Windows Explorer

Whenever you open Windows Explorer you would see it opening in My Documents, and you need to go all the way to your folder. If you want to get the folder of your choice at the very start of Explorer, then you just need to make some changes in its properties. Here’s what you need to do.

1. Go to Start –> Programs –> Accessories –> Right Click on Windows Explorer and choose Properties.
2. Go to the Shortcut tab and then into the target, add the line ” /n, /e, /select, C:\”, without Quotes, Now your target should look like this.

3. Instead of “C:\” you can type the path of your folder and whenever you will open Explorer, it will come up with your Folder.

Now, If you are using Pre Windows XP, then you can access Windows Explorer by Shortcut “Windows Logo + E”, but in case of Windows XP this shortcut is already defined to give you the explorer window with selection as My Computer. In Xp you need to open it by going into start menu, or you can create a shortcut as well.
