QUESTION:
I know you've said you like the Libraries in Windows 7 Explorer, but I don't. I want Explorer to open up in My Computer (showing my drives) instead of to the libraries. Is there any way I can do this? Thanks! - Evan C.
ANSWER:
Yes, if you don't like the Libraries view that opens when you click the Explorer icon in the taskbar, there is a way to change that. Here's how:
1. First, unpin the existing Explorer icon from the taskbar. To do that, right click it and select "Unpin this program from taskbar."
2. Now make a new Explorer shortcut on the desktop. Right click an empty area, click New | Shortcut and in the location box, type: %windir%\explorer.exe /e
3. Click Next.
4. Give it a name (e.g., Explorer) and click Finish.
5. Right click the new shortcut and select "Pin to taskbar."
6. Delete the one that's on the desktop if you want.
Now when you click the Explorer icon on the taskbar, it will open to Computer instead of to the libraries
