When I right click the Start Menu and select Explore, the Start Menu folder is in the middle of the window, appropriately enough. However, I want the window scrolled to another folder, namely my Music folder, automatically. Is there a way to do this?

Why not create a shortcut to your music folder on your desktop?

My thought would be to locate the folder, grab it with the right mouse button, drag it to your desktop and when you let go of the mouse button choose “Create Shortcut Here” Then it would be right on your desktop. Alternatively you could drop it on the taskbar right next to the start button and you could open it with a single click.

Or, drag it to the Start button and it’ll appear in the list of Start menu items, up near the top.

Well, because I’m too much of an idiot not to think of that myself. 🙂 Thanks, I’ll do this.

Actually, I like this better. Thanks all.
