NukedWhale Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I use the Windows + "E" shortcut all the time. My problem is that I don't want to start in My Computer. I would much rather have it open a folder within a network drive instead? Does anyone know how I can change the starting destination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NukedWhale Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 Does anyone know how to do this or did I post in the wrong MSFN forum? If this is in the wrong forum, how do I move it and where should I move it? Does it belong in the tips and tweaks forum?If you're an administrator and move this post for me, can you email me so I know where to look for it?I'm new to these forums.

Sonic Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 This isn't real wrong place. It's okay for windows xp forum.For your question, I 'm pretty sure you can't directly change Win+E action, it's "hard-coded" in windows.But with third-party program you can customize win+... shortcuts.

CptMurphy Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 What is the difference between Alt+Tab and Win + Tab?Alt-tab shows you a visual prompt as to what application you want to use. Whereas win-tab just switches to the next application, without any prompt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
