configuring XP Start Menu -> Right click -> Explore action

I often right click on Windows XP Start menu button and then click on the "Explore" link to open the windows explorer. It'll always opens the following location which I'd then close and open the path I want.
C:\ --> Document and Settings --> --> Start Menu.
Here's a registry tweak to change that to your favorite location.

Navigate to

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\explore\ddexec

On the right pane, right-click on "default" and pick Modify.

On the Value Data line, reaplce both isntances of '%I' with your favorite folder as

[ExploreFolder("D:\workspace", D:\workspace,%S)]


Happy Exploring !!
