You can put a shortcut to any folder on your desktop to open to a desired location. I do this all the time.

Hello Experts -<br />
<br />
I'm constantly going to Windows Explorer in Windows 7, getting the thing to open, and then negotiate a couple of directories to get where I want to go. I think it would be a lot easier if I set up a desktop icon to do that for me.<br />
<br />
The requirements is that I stay in Windows Explorer. Going to DOS for a conventional CD C:\ etc. is not the desired outcome.<br />
<br />
Maybe there is some kind of script I could write and run. Or, possibly explorer.exe accepts parameters.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know the best approach before I burn up an afternoon trying to get this thing to work.<br />
<br />
Let's assume I'm trying to get &quot;C:\Financials\Current\Exp<wbr />enses\&quot; from the desktop.<br />
<br />
Thanks.
