%systemroot%
%homedrive%

for example
anyone have a complete list
I looked forever in the knowledge database and could not
find them. I'm just trying to get Explorer to open on My
computer rather than My Documents.

I never tried this before. Please cc dalemcc@yahoo.com if
it doesn't already do this. Thanks, Dale

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking when you state you want Explorer to
open instead of My Documents. If you mean you want to create a shortcut to
Windows Explorer, the following path will do it and will open with the C
drive expanded:
C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /e

To get a list of system variables, open a command window (Start->Run: cmd)
and type set
