Windows Explorer "Default folder" Registry tweak

[mrmr]

Someone know how to modify the "Default folder" opened by Windows Explorer?

mrmr

Create a shortcut on your desktop with the following command line:

Explorer.exe /e,D:\

replacing D:\ with the drive or path to your folder....

Now invoking the shortcut will open the folder you specified as the default.

If you want your folder to be the root folder instead of My Documents then add the /root parameter like this:

explorer /e,/root,D:\

That trick only works for shortcuts. Not with for example the Windows Key + E key combination.
