Starting Windows Explorer In The C Drive

You should use this path and switches in the target in the Explorer property sheet:

  • C:\windows\explorer.exe /n,/e,c:\

The following steps present the whole list of switches. Simply copy/paste the bold text into the Target line on the Property Sheet of Windows Explorer. In case that's not the view that you wanted to see, switch back to the default view by typing C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe in the Target line.

  • %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/select,c: - "My Computer" highlighted in left side with all drives visible but not expanded and C: highlighted in right side;

  • %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/n,/select,/root,c: - Desktop highlighted and nothing expanded; 

  • %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/select - All drives visible and the system drive highlighted and expanded in full screen; 

  • %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/select,%systemroot% - All drives visible and the system drive expanded in small screen; 

  • %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/root,%systemroot% - Only Windows Directory visible highlighted and expanded; 

  • %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,c: - All drives visible but only C: highlighted and expanded; 

  • %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n,/e,/select, - Nothing expanded and My Computer highlighted in right side; 

  • %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe %systemroot% - Opens the Windows folder as a folder; 

  • %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe %systemroot%, - Opens as "My Computer"; 

  • %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe %systemroot%,/select, - This opens the Desktop folder with "My Computer" highlighted; 

  • %systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,/root,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D},/select - "Desktop" highlighted in the left side and no drives visible;

  • %systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,/root,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} - "My Computer" highlighted in left side and all drives visible but none expanded;

  • %systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,/select,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} - "Desktop" in left side highlighted and "My Computer" highlighted in right side and no drives visible:
