Lej Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 (edited) Ok, so I'm not sure what file to call to start My Computer. I could use explorer.exe but if I do I get the folders sidebar when it starts and I really would like to avoid that in this case. I know you can create shortcuts that start My Computer by using "shell:DriveFolder" can this perhaps be used somehow? Edit: Noticed there's a /n parameter which makes explorer open in single-pane mode but I still would prefer to use My Computer if possible.

Lej Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 I ended up using: explorer.exe /n,"pathToOpen" Works like charm. Looks exaclty like when starting through My Computer For me at least. This is just for a small cmdline ulti to make folder shortcuts that always open on my TV which I use as secondary monitor for movie viewing so no big deal ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
