Shortcut problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

Hello,

I have my XP Professional set up so that in Windows Explorer
everything opens in folder view. But when I put a shortcut to a file
on the desktop and click on it, it doesn't open in folder view. Is
there a way to correct this?

Thank you.

Norman,

Where is the shortcut pointing to and what are the parameters assigned?

Explorer.exe Command-Line Options for Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=314853

Customize the Windows Explorer Views in Windows XP

Open folders in Windows Explorer mode by default (i.e. with folder pane
enabled):
