Change the default "open" path

[robertcrown]

Hi,

I'm trying to change the default path that Vista uses when you access explorer from within an application. Eg. Saving a file from Photoshop, adding an attachment from Outlook etc. Vista generally defaults to the Documents folder which is painful when you want to access a network drive or the desktop.

I know there are a couple of methods to changing the location of the Documents folder but I that's not what I need.

How do I make the Desktop (all folders/drives collapsed) to be the default path that appears whenever I access the Windows Explorer via an application?

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks,
Rob

That sounds program specific, not like any default behavior of explorer. You could enter this:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /root,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

in the Target of any explorer shortcut to open at my Computer.
