I'm hoping there is a way I can have Explorer open with the tree view with My Computer expanded. My OS is XP SP3. Thanks so much for your help!

I'll give you one answer, if that isn't what you want, post back.

If you want to Explore by double-clicking My Computer:

Open Explorer → Tools menu → Folder Options → File types → select Folder → click Advanced → select explore → click Set default → click OK on all dialog boxes until all are closed.

I would like to be able to create a shortcut key in order to achieve this. Thanks!

And I always hit it by accident when i'm trying to bring up the "run" box : [Start]+"R".

I knew of the shortcut previous to 'Finger-Fumbling'.

Thanks do much! Is there somewhere I can find other shortcut keys like this one?
