on
This is about the Windows Explorer shortcut Button on the Task bar in Windows 7. As you all Win 7 users know that this button is a shortcut to Windows Libraries folder. But if you ever wanted to change this shortcut to My Computer, My Documents or else to some other folder its a little bit tricky thing.
Here is the secret.
  1. Hold the SHIFT key & Right click on Explorer button
  2. In that menu click on Properties.
  3. In properties window, you have to change the Target field  by adding the file path you want. (example: %windir%\explorer.exe c:\windows) (by default its %windir%\explorer.exe)
