Edit Command Line
Command line options are VERY useful & allow you to customize the way a program or shortcut works to best suit your individual way of working. For example, a desktop shortcut to Windows Explorer normally opens with your C drive tree expanded, if the first thing you do is close that up & expand another drive, change the shortcut command line from C to the drive you prefer to access. Don't know how to use/edit the command line? RJL Software gives clear instructions with screenshots, just follow the link on this web page.
