WinXP SP2

I just changed the properties of windows explorer to open to the root C:\
folder and not the my documents folder.
Now when I open windows explorer it opens full screen, even after resizing
it while holding down ctrl and closing.
Any ideas?

Thanks
Bob

I used the following to change to open with the root drive
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/root,

When I use the following to open Windows Explorer in My Computer
C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE /n, /e, ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
The window can be resized for opening in a smaller window.

%windir%\explorer.exe /n, /e, C:\
works for me. Opens to whatever size it was closed at.
