Starting Explorer with All Drives in Left-Panel

 

OS : Windows 95

User Level : Intermed.

 

Normally, when you start Explorer, it opens up with the current drive at 

the top of the tree in the directory-pane on the left. To start Explorer with 

"My Computer" as the root, and all drives visible, adjust your shortcuts 

(right-click, select Properties then go to the Shortcut page) to Explorer 

by changing the TARGET field to read : C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE

/e,/n,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} Instead of copying 

that out by hand, just drag your mouse over it now, right-click, select 

COPY...and then paste it into the TARGET field later (right-click, then 

PASTE...you get the idea.) You can also achieve the same result by 

right-clicking on "My Computer" and selecting Explore OR by holding 

SHIFT while double-clicking "My Computer" but the above method 

yields a one-handed, no-keypress solution.
