How can I make Windows 7 Explorer open my folder on the desktop instead of libraries?

I can find solutions that have me enter the GUID (Globally Unique Identifiers) for My Documents/computer etc, but I want Windows Explorer to start on my office if possible.  Can someone explain how to do this?

Three ways:

1

1.1. open Windows Explorer, select theyourusername file C:\Users\

1.2 your desktop folder will appear in the right pane.

1.3 with the right button on the desktop folder and select Create shortcut.

1.4 you can now use this shortcut to open Windows Explorer on the desktop.

2

2.1 while on your desktop, right-click, select new, select shortcut.

2.2 in the dialog box that appears, find the location with C:\Users\yourusername\Desktop tab, and then click Next

2.3 and enter any convenient name for the shortcut.

3 [is perhaps the most convenient because it can be pinned to the start menu or the taskbar]

3.1 while on your desktop, right-click, select new, select shortcut.

3.2 in the dialog box that appears, find the location with C:\Windows\explorer.exe and then a space & then C:\Users\yourusername\Desktop tab, and then click Next

3.3 then enter any convenient name for the shortcut.

This type of shortcut can be pinned to the taskbar or the Start Menu.

  • How can I make Windows 7 Explorer look and work like it does in XP?

    Hello...

    The GUI in the Win7 Explorer is a waste of screen real estate when it comes to want to work with files.

    I don't want the icons or all divisions of the way in which it uses by default, and I don't want to have only a small space to expand the + for each folder tree. I would like to have the Explorer Win 7 have the same look and feel as in windows XP. Call 'classic' view of windows Explorer.

    How can I do this?  I tried but could not get that look in Win7.

    If this is not possible, then what was the reason for the deletion of this presentation?  What Microsoft problem trying to resolve to change this?

    Thank you for your help.

  • How can I make windows play a sound when you press the SHIFT key

    My keyboard doesn't have a light to indicate when it is capitalized. He used to play a sound, but it is more the fact after that I said not to do. However, when entering passwords that are case sensitive, it gives the wrong password. Can someone tell me how to re - turn on the sound.

    Look in Control Panel > accessibility, and then click "make the keyboard easier to use." Check the box "turn ToggleKeys. This will produce a note when you press the lock keys. Or just check the other box beneath it. In this way, you can turn the tone on or off without having to return to these settings.
