Batch+Shortcut-ApproachĬreate a batch file somewhere on the system, for example atĬ:\Users\user\explorer-starter.bat with the contents explorer C:\Users\user\any-path-you-want My current workaround is not perfect, if anyone has further suggestions, i'd be thankful. In plain windows 8, you could change the start-in directory (what you're refering to) to anything you'd like. I did not yet find a way to get the windows 8 ( not 8.1) behaviour back. If I recall correctly, I could do this easily in Windows Vista and Windows 7. If I Click on that icon, I will see the folder I want, but I noticed in the taskbar there was an added icon for Windows Explorer, which only serves to inconveniently occupy space. I went to the Start Screen and Right-click > Pin to taskbar.Īfter that, I see in the taskbar an icon that is not the one of Windows Explorer, but the Folder icon. Finally, I closed all Windows Explorer windows, and in the newly created shortcut at the Desktop, I did: Right-click > Pin to Start. Then I selected the folder I wanted for the link, Right-Click > Send to > Desktop (create Shortcut). I went to the folder above the one I wanted to create the link. Moved that lnk file to another folder and the same situation continues to happen. I tried to go C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar, Right-Click > Properties and those fields are also non-editable. So I cannot specify folder where to start. Pin Windows Explorer to Taskbar and Shift+Right Click > Properties.Īs you can see in the image the Target location, Target, and Start in fields are non-editable. I want to have an icon in Windows 8.1 Taskbar that opens Windows Explorer in a specific folder and does not create a second icon when I click the first.
