[AccessD] OT: Vista explorer default

Michael,

That is exactly what I was looking for.  I opened explorer, dragged the computer icon to the desktop 
which created a shortcut, then dragged that shortcut to my quick launch.  When I open that it opens 
explorer with the computer object expanded.

Nice!

Thanks.
