Configuring the display settings for the "Windows Explorer" application implies making changes to the system registry entries and cannot be recommended to an inexperienced user.
Instructions
Step 1
Open the main system menu by clicking the "Start" button to carry out the procedure for changing the display parameters of the standard "Windows Explorer" application and go to the "Run" dialog. Enter the value explorer in the "Open" line and authorize the command execution by clicking OK. Use the following command parameters to select the desired settings: - / n - to open an explorer window showing the root directory of a volume with OS Windows; - / e - to display the default view; - / root, disk_name: Windows_folder_name_to_open_for_root_directory - to set the selected folder as root; - / select, drive_name: Windows_folder_name_to_open_in_root_directory_file_name - to select the selected file.
Step 2
Return to the main system start menu and go to the All Programs group to replace the default folder when the application starts. Expand the "Standard" link and open the context menu of the "Windows Explorer @" element by right-clicking. Specify the Properties command and enter the value / root in the% SystemRoot% Explorer.exe command line in the Object field and authorize the selected changes to be applied by clicking OK.
Step 3
Return to the main system menu "Start" again and go to the "Run" dialog to further customize the display settings for the "Windows Explorer" application. Enter the value regedit in the "Open" line and authorize the launch of the registry editor by clicking the OK button. Expand the HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorer branch and create a new DWORD key named NoViewContextMenu to prevent the right-click context menu from being displayed.
