Default My Document folder settings

I have a lot of folders in 'My Documents'. In order to view these folders
when I open My Documents I have to use the View menu then Explorer Bar then
Folders. Is there a way to default to this setting when I open My Documents?

Hi John,

Right click Windows Explorer/Properties and type this into the Target path:

To have C: open and My Documents
%windir%\EXPLORER.EXE /e,c:,%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\My Documents

For it to open to My Documents:
explorer /n,/e,%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\My Documents or
C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /n,/e,%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\My Documents

To have My Documents open only (No folders)
Explorer /root, c:\Documents and Settings\%username%\My Documents

All the Best,
