Question: Is it possible to define which folders are expanded when windows explorer opens?
I'm on Vista btw.

You can hide them and change the view?

It always opens with some system folders expanded which takes me about 5 clicks to minimise (I know, it's traumatic stuff). I want it to open with them shut and my documents expanded or similar.

Yep. Which one(s) do you want expanded by default?

Open the Start Menu.
Click on All Programs.
Click on the Accessories folder to expand it.
Right click Windows Explorer and click Properties.
In Target: area, type %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n, /select C:\Users\(your username)\Documents

If that folder path doesn't work, use:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n,::{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}

neither worked, what did you mean by target: area?
Its the area bit that lost me, did you just mean that field or do you have a sub field called area?

It's because I was accessing it through right clicking the start button. I've changed the registry default entry for this to what you pasted above and it works fine, cheers.
