Stop opening My Documents!

Locked

by leightonn · about 20 years, 5 months ago

Does anyone know of a way to stop Windows 2000 from opening the My Documents folder by default?
My ‘My Documents’ folder is pretty big and everytime I open windows explorer the My Documents folder opens up. Please make it stop!

  C:\WINNT\Explorer.exe /E,C:\
