Windows Seven : Start Exploring From (My)Computer
Posted By Pallab De On August 31, 2009 @ 11:00 am In How To | 2 Comments
Windows Seven is a highly polished release which gets most of the things right. However there are a few minor annoyances here and there. We already shared how to fix the Windows Seven Taskbar (Superbar) idiosyncrasies with Taskbar Overlord [1]. Today we will share another little tip to improve your Windows Seven experience.
By default when you click on the Windows Explorer button in the taskbar your Libraries folder is opened. This is nice if you have your content neatly organized into multiple Libraries. However, most people that I know would simply prefer to begin exploring from (My)Computer.
Right click on Explorer Icon and then again right click on Windows Explorer entry in the Jump List. Select ‘Properties’ from the context menu. Change the target from %windir%explorer.exe to %windir%explorer.exe /e,::{20d04fe0-3aea-1069-a2d8-08002b30309d}. Click on OK to save the settings.

That’s it. From now onwards, clicking on the Windows Explorer button would open (My)Computer instead of Libraries.
