Solved Change right click on START behaviour

[mytitanic]

Hello all,

My aplogies if the title of this post is too vague. I'm sure one of you good folks can point me in the right direction.

CURRENT behaviour .... Right click on START, left click on EXPLORE, opens in a window with Start Menu folder selected.

DESIRED behaviour .... Right click on START, left click on EXPLORE, would like a full screen window with my user folder selected. My username is Admin.

I suspect a modification to the registry may be required to accomplish my desired behaviour. If so, please provide a step-by-step procedure that a newbie can follow!

Many thanks in advance ..... Wayne

Hello Wayne,

You can use this workaround instead if you would like by adding that option instead of replacing "Explore".

Using the tutorial below, you could use the name "User Folder" (or whatever you want to see in the context menu) at step 6.

At step 10, use %USERPROFILE% as the location. This will open your C:\Users\(user-name) folder like you wanted.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Shawn,

You put me on the right track.
The exception was that in Step 10, to make it operate correctly, I needed to specify this for the data ...

C:\Windows\explorer.exe /e, C:\Users\Admin

Appreciate your help ..... Wayne
