View Full Version : My Documents Issue
When open Windows Explorer, My Documents automatically
expands. Is there a way/tweak to prevent this? Tx.
Looks like Kelly has something

Tx 4 response. Had tried that tweak and didn't do what was
looking for. Wasn't having problem with My Documents opening
on Start-up. Rather was looking for something that prevents the
My Music, My Pictures and My Video folders from auto showing
under My Documents when open Windows Explorer.

These three are subfolders of My Documents
My Documents actual name is
C:\Documents and Settings\Trevor\My Documents
My Music actual name is
C:\Documents and Settings\Trevor\My Documents\My Music
My Pictures actual name is
C:\Documents and Settings\Trevor\My Documents\My Pictures
My Videos actual name is
C:\Documents and Settings\Trevor\My Documents\My Videos
(where Trevor changes to your name in every case)
I can't see how you can prevent them from showing under My Documents.
Unless of course you move them to somewhere else. I have seen posts on this
Newsgroup about doing just that. The problem is not that you can't move
them, but that the system has to know that they have been moved
Perhaps someone who know more can reply along these lines.

If you're wanting the contents of your 'C' drive to open with Windows
Explorer rather than your 'My Documents' folder then right-click on Windows
Explorer and hit Properties. Change the target to:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, c:\ . (Easiest to cut and paste)

By default, Windows Explorer always opens with My Documents. Customize it by
changing the properties for the Windows Explorer icon and replace the Target
field with: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, c:\yourfolder
1. Right click on the icon you use to launch Explorer and select Properties.
2. In the Target box, type:
%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /e, path
Where in place of path above you should enter the actual path to the
directory you want open by default. For example C:\Windows, or C:\Documents
and Settings, etc. To have My Computer listed as the default selection, type
explorer.exe /e,

Just did your cut and paste suggestion and Windows Explorer
opens way wanted it to without the My Documents' sub-folders
showing. Tx so much for the fix.
