    Default windows explorer - changing the default folder?

    Hi,

    when Windows Explorer opens up (in XP) the default folder that gets the
    focus is My Documents. I want to change that so that one of my drives (or
    subfolders) gets the focus when I open Windows Explorer.
    Got milk ?

    >Got milk? Yes, but it is sour. "My Documents" is the
    default folder that WindowsXP exposes. If you change it
    to another drive or folder, it will default back.
