Have Windows Explorer open to My Computer

[Ice Czar]

instead of My Documents

If your running alot of HDDs, or alot of partitions or both
I find it horribly annoying to have to expand the My Computer tree in the left panel of Windows Explorer, and perfer to navigate without having to do that

this tweak can actually be applied to open by default to any drive or even folder you can figure the shortcut to

for My Computer

RClick the Windows Explorer Icon > Properties > In the target box you should appear > %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe

add to that > /e,::{20d04fe0-3aea-1069-a2d8-08002b30309d}

so the whole entry would be >
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,::{20d04fe0-3aea-1069-a2d8-08002b30309d}
Apply > OK

other shortcuts
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,c:
will explore C:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,c:\Program Files
would open to all the program folders

it can even be opened to a different drive and a folder quite deep in the hierarchy

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,G:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\ARK

that happens to be a folder on a parallel OS install on a seperate drive (G) as viewed from this OS install

looking at Suse 9.0
still researching I really need NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Architecture)
and compatibility\optimization for my current lineup
