Changing Folder When Starting Explorer?

Hi guys,

is it possible to change the "start" folder when you launch the explorer ?

When I launch my Explorer the System automaticly moves to "Start Menu" (don t know which folder it is in the english XP Version).

I would be great if the "start folder" would be C:\

Anybody has a tipp ?

you can automatically switch to any folder you want, by creating a shortcut to explorer.exe (or modifying an existing one) and alter the command line (or target of the shortcut) to explorer.exe /e,"Folder"

i.e., explorer.exe /e,C:\
