Command line switch for Windows Explorer

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

I miss the good ole days of being able to set my Explorer to open to a
specific hard drive or folder within a hard drive.

How do I do this in Windows XP Pro?

When I click on my current shortcut to Explorer these are the settings and
Explorer always opens to the My Documents folder.

Target: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe

Start In: %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%

I would like to set my shortcut to open to my E:\ drive or perhaps a folder
within my E drive - E:\Jobs.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Thank you!

I almost feel foolish, but when you don't know - you don't know.
