Never happened to me.....Maybe it's something to do with the 'folder settings' yoke, where you can give individual folders there own settings. My explorer saves where it was on exit, ie If I had the windows tree expanded when I closed it, it'll open it again when I start explorer again.

I checked the folder setting and folder options and still no luck
couldnt find out anything on google either
ill just have to live with it

I did find out some likkle 98 tricks though if anyone is interested
like how to display a notice before someone logs on or to get rid of the logon alltogher ( not much good for networks , but maybe handy for hope use )

anyhoo thanks anyway

How are you opening Explorer? If you right click on the Start button then choose explore it will expand the Windows folder.

Try right clicking on my Computer icon and it should only expand your C drive.

How are you starting Explorer?
Check the properties\target of the shortcut you are using and it will look something like "C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE /n,/e,C:\windows" change the last entry to c:\ and it will expand the root folder.

If you don't wan't any folders to expand add "/select" to the line eg. "C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE /n,/e,/select,C:\" and this should solve your problem
