And if you want it on all folders, press 'apply to all folders', and
then close the window with 'file exit' so it remembers it for next time.

I have a strange error. Without knowing it, I have
somehow screwed up the settings to explorer. When I go
in from a shortcut and select the c:\drive, it just pops
out without listing anything or opening up. If I manage
to right click and the selecte Explore - then I can move
about just like of old......

Any suggestion ?? (xp with sp1 installed)

I was trying to get the disk space to show and changed
some of the settings. I have tried to reset them like
another working machine close by but to no avail.

How do I change the launch string of windows explorer so
that it starts from my C drive under My Computer instead
of starting in My Documents when I start Windows
Explorer? Thanks for the help.
