Windows Explorer Start Folder

You can configure your Windows Explorer icon to start in any folder you like. If you right-click on the icon and select Shortcut, you'll see a line for "Target". It probably says "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" now. To change the start-up folder, add "/n, /e, " (no quotes needed), where "mypath" is the location of your favorite folder. (Okay, another not-CAD tip, but I like not having to collapse the folder tree that opens up by default.)
