Windows 10: I would file explorer to open in a default drive ie C drive. How do you do this??

I would file explorer to open in a default drive ie C drive on LFS and all the sub-directories on the RHS of window instead of going to the Microsoft defaults. How do you do this??

File Explorer- no drive letters are listed.

The File Explorer in Windows 10, shows the Frequent folders list and Recent files list by default. You can view the drives by clicking on This PC tab on the left site of the File Explorer. But if you wish the File Explorer
to open This PC showing drives list by default, then follow these steps:

1. In Windows 10, open a new File Explorer window and click the View tab from the ribbon toolbar.

2. In the View tab, find and click on Options, listed by default on the far right side of the ribbon.

3. In the Folder Options window, make sure you’re on the General tab and then find the drop-down box labeled Open File Explorer To. Click the drop-down menu and select This PC. Click OK to
save your changes and close the window. Now your File Explorer opens to Drives list by default.

Hope this helps!

 

File Explorer goes back to drive C

When working on a network drive in File Explorer and I open a file and start working on it, I usually minimize file explorer or just let the file I opened to "cover" file explorer. But when I try to go back to File Explorer by bringing it to the "front"
instead of being in the desired network drive, I see that it goes back to drive C instead. When it reverts back to drive C, the file that I opened from the network drive freezes or I cannot edit or do anything with it. I would have to close the file and restart
my work again. Why does File Explorer keep going back to drive C?

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
