    From left to right. I want to create a shortcut that opens the second window. I can only do it with right click on my computer and select explore.
    I know my command line switches or at least i think so but i can't get the damn thing to open my computer selected in file tree and thats that.
    I can make any of the hard drives focused but not my computer.
    My computer shortcut doesn't allow command line switches for explorer.
    The only way i can do it is if i change the default behavior of my computer from the registry so the default function is explore and not open.

    So the purpose is to make a shortcut that opens the second top window from left to right.

    The first thing that came to my mind was to try using a 3rd party file management utility, or a Windows Explorer "replacement". Actually, that's a bit misleading, these utils don't really 'replace' Explorer, but they can be used instead of Explorer while leaving Explorer untouched and unused. My personal favorite is xplorer2 lite, it's free, but they have a paid version too with even more features. Another good free file explorer is a43. I hope this helps!
    :-D

    What am I missing here? When I click on the short cut I created for My Computer, properties in for ground of attachment, the result is the backround pic. Is that what you're trying to do?

    Re: Well get the hell out of here then

    It took you almost a week to Google up something that's been common knowledge for 8 years, in future, try making an interesting thread title, people may look at it and supply you with the answer your're looking for :)
