Open Explorer at the Root of a System

 To do this, run Windows NT Explorer and locate the shortcut you normally use to open Windows NT Explorer. Right-click the shortcut's icon and choose Properties. When the Properties dialog box opens, click the Shortcut tab. Click the Target entry box and replace the current contents with

 %systemroot%\explorer.exe/e,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} 

Then click OK to close the dialog box and save your changes. Since the new name may prove difficult to enter without error, we suggest that you copy the line shown in this tip, then paste it into the Target entry box.  Windows NT Explorer will now open with no expanded drives.
