Windows 7 Hack – How to Start Windows Explorer from ‘My Computer’

Unlike windows vista or windows xp, on windows 7 the feature to set windows explorer straight from my computer is inactive. With this hack you can set the Windows Explorer to start from My Computer instead. This will help you to access the different hard disk drives or removable disks easily. Let’s go through the steps

Step 1: navigate to Windows Explorer in the Start Menu (it’s in the Accessories folder). Then edit the properties and change the target to read:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /root,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

This will make the explorer open folders/drives in new Windows. To fix this see the next step

Step 2: Set the target to

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,::{20d04fe0-3aea-1069-a2d8-08002b30309d}
