What is the keyboard short cut for My Documents?
This would be very handy. Craig

There isn't one natively, but you can create it easily enough.

1. Open My Computer (or any other file explorer window).

2. Right-click on My Documents and drag to the desktop.

3. When you release the mouse button, you'll see a menu. Select
"Create Shortcuts [sic] here."

4. Right-click on the new shortcut and select Properties.

5. Fill in the Shortcut Key and click OK.

If you don't want this on your desktop, move it to a subfolder under
your start menu.

Stan,

Thanks. It worked.
When I hit the hotkey for My Documents, it opened up.
But the subfolders and files appear as icons.
How can I make those in "list" as default?
