Windows 10: Win Key + E (My computer)

The shortcut Win Key + E was going to my computer with all previous versions of windows. Now it goes to home…
Does anybody know how to customize this?

:)

 

I have not gotten windows 10 from windows 7 sp1(July31)

I kept getting failed updates of about 4 times on Drive C. But there is nothing wrong with my computer because I have been running previews for a month on another drive E of the same computer. So I did a clean install of Win 7 on Drive C yesterday and
let it update to sp1. I also downloaded Media Creation Tool and use it to Upgrade win 7 to win 10 but it requested an activation key which I don't have. I used my win 7 activation key but that did not work. So what I do now?

 

Upgrade to Windows 10 fail from Windows 7

A Win 7 product key has no input/value with Win 10...

Get the Win 10 key...

 

I see nobody has been able to answer this. I will apologize in advance because I also have not found a way, yet, to do exactly what you want. However, I have found a workaround that is sufficient for my needs until we do find the exact answer.

I created a new shortcut on the desktop and put the following command line in it:

%windir%\explorer.exe ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

I tested it and it works the way I want: opens File Explorer to This PC instead of Home.

I unpinned the original File Explorer icon from the Task Bar and pinned the new shortcut to the Task Bar.

I placed it as the third icon from the left in the Task Bar so now I just type Win + 3 (instead of Win + E; it's physically close to the same key and sort of mnemonic *Biggrin ) to launch File Explorer that opens in This PC. Not perfect but better.

Here is the autohotkey script to rebind Win + E

Compile with Autohotkey
or
Use my compiled binary from HERE

Run the compiled exe file. Win + E will open This PC.

 

Go to folder option and select "Open File Explorer to:" to "This PC"

 

"As of build 9926 (at least - it may have been an earlier build), this is configurable via the GUI.
Open Explorer and go to View -> Options -> General
Change Open File Explorer to This PC" - Taz
