Windows Explorer start folder

Hi all,

There used to be a way to change the start folder when starting up windows
explorer, but it escapes me. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

"Change the start folder", what are you trying to accomplish?????
Changing the View, display, size, etc.?????
You can click the Tools tab>folder options for different displays.

Since you didn't indicate where you wanted Explorer to open,
here's an article that you might want to look at:
