Where is the explorer folder?

Question

I have a program that belongs in the program listing.  Right nnow it is sitting in My Documents. If I could find the explorer folder like Win98 had, it would be good.  Can anyone help me wih this?  I'm strugglin with XP.

carlh, If you are trying to open Windows Explorer XP has it at Start|All Programs|Accessories|Windows Explorer.

Thanks Denny.  When I followed that link, it opened  'My Documents'.  Am I to assume that My Documents and Windows Explorer are the same?  How do I get it in the All Programs list? Message Edited by carlh on 06-22-200608:56 AM

carlh,

To open Windows Explorer in the more user-friendly expanded display of the C:\ partition right-click the link in Accessories, select Properties, and change the entry in the "Target" box to %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,c:

Once Explorer opens in that display cut the shortcut to the program in My Documents and paste it in either C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs or the corresponding folder for your personal account under Documents and Settings.

Thanks, Denny.  I now have bigger problems.  Happens every time I get a new Dell.
