If you find it annoying that the Windows Explorer Icon on the taskbar always opens with the Libraries then there’s an easy way to change the behaviour.
- Right click on the Explorer icon
- Right click on Windows Explorer
- Select properties
- Input at the end of the target field “/e,” without the quotes so that you get the following line:
”%windir%\explorer.exe /e,” - You’re done. Explorer will now always open in the My Computer view.
For more explanation on the Switches you can check the following links:

This is totally wrong. First of all, you've got quotations after %windir that render this useless and second, this doesn't make it open in My Computer, but rather My Documents.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteI can only say that tip still works for me and correctly opens Explorer in the My Computer view.
But you are correct that I've made a mistake.
”%windir”\explorer.exe /e,” should be ”%windir%\explorer.exe /e,”
I'll fix it right now.
The base bath is correct in the screenshots.
I had the same problem. The /e by itself would open My Documents. This worked from your first link:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /E,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
