After a research of half an hour, I noticed a very unusual thing. When I tried the trick on my computer, I noticed a considerable amount of time gap between me clicking the Windows Explorer and opening of the desired folder. My Computer %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,:: My Verdict You can now open any folder of your choice using the above trick but what about opening My Computer or Documents? What are their paths? Well if you want to open My Computer or My Documents directly, just copy and paste the following text in the Target: field Step 5: Now pay attention! After the %windir%\explorer.exe, give a space then write /e, (with the coma) than again give a space followed by the address of the directory you copied in the step 2.
Copy and save it to a text file (This is us creating a failsafe if we want to revert back to default settings). Step 4: In the properties dialog box, hunt for the Target: field to see a text reading %windir%\explorer.exe. Now, again right-click on Windows Explorer written just above the unpin folder option and select properties. Step 3: Close the directory and right-click on the Windows Explorer folder on the taskbar. Step 2: Now, click on the address bar to reveal the full address of the folder and copy the address to a temporary text file. Step 1: Browse to the folder that you want to open using the Windows Explorer in the future. Setting Windows Explorer to Open Your Favorite Folder By Default If you too don’t use the Windows 7 Library often enough and want to set explorer to open your favorite folder each time then here’s a trick using which you can directly open any drive or folder using the very same Windows Explorer folder on taskbar. I mean, I should be able to quickly set it to open my favorite/most frequently used folder, right? Turns out, this isn’t that straight-forward. I hardly use the Windows 7 library and hence I find it a bit irritating sometimes that the Windows explorer folder icon on my taskbar opens the Library by default.
