ok, i know the above may sound very odd. But here my situation, whenever i open a harddrive through PidlShortcuts on my desktop, it just "opens" open the drive. I want it to "explore" the drive. The difference of which, using "explore" i get the folders view expanded directory on the left pane. Is this possible?
P.S. Normally if you right click on a drive, you are given the option to either "open" or "explore".
this is awful. I did this awhile back & have forgotten. in desklets properties do the shortcut show "shell:drivefolder"?
ok. try this
Desklet Properties| Shortcut Tab
Shortcut: c:windowsEXPLORER.EXE
Arguments: C:FILE CABINET (Path to Drive or Folder)
If that doesn't work try a /e in front of the arguments path
SirSmiley: thanks for the quick reply. Doesn't seem to be working for me as well. My settings are below
inside the settings for PidlShortcuts>Desklet propeties>Shortcut>
Paths: E: (my drive i want to open)
where do i place the shortcut arguements you mentioned? In "Parameter"?
I know I posted this over a year ago but, here's a link to a nice description

and here

also here
This is it
Desklet Properties to Shortcut Tab
Shortcut: C:WINDOWSexplorer.exe
Arguments: /e, c:
This will open your c: drive in explorer view.
The "/e," switch do the work and dont forget the comma.
edit : You can give a path so you can open again in explorer view any folder.
