Script to open explorer on "My Computer"

[jtflex]

Hi I'm new to Windows Scripting so bear with me.

I'm trying to write a simple script that when executed. Explorer opens up on "MY Computer" showing all the drives available.

I have a script working that opens Explorer to folders or files. I also have a script that will just open Explorer which then defaults to "My Documents"

Is there a specific path or specific name other then "My computer" to add to my script?

Here is the simple script I have for opening up just Explorer:

set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set wshshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
command = "Explorer.exe "
wshshell.run command

Any ideas of what to add to it?

I'm using W2K and Win Script Host.

Thanks
Joe

Create a shortcut to My Computer (the easiest way to do this is to right-click and hold on My Computer, drag to the side and release the button, this will ask you if you want to create a Shorcut). Move the shortcut to where-ever you want it (for this example I put it directly on the C: drive). Now you can open it by calling "C:\My Computer.lnk" (The quotes are necessary because there is a space). Hope this helps.

You can also use

explorer.exe /e

from a command line (or script) to open explorer in two pane mode. It should start w/ c:\ in focus, but show all the drives.

"My Computer" is a very much localized and is accessed with reference to its class identity.

The command script line should therefore read like this.
[tt] command = "Explorer.exe /e,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"[/tt]
