I want to setup a shortcut which (when double clicked) opens Windows Explorer with a pre-defined directory.
Under Windows 7 users could setup a shortcut with auto-expansion and auto-marking that directory (sample: C:\data) in left side tree view with the following command:
%windir%\explorer.exe /n,/e,C:\data
It works fine in Win 7.
When I try to setup the same cmd/shortcut in TaskBar of Windows 8 it does not work resp. does work only partially.
Yes, on the right side the content of C:\data is shown.
But on the left side tree view the tree is NOT expanded and the directory C:\data is NOT marked.
How else can I achieve auto-expansion + auto-marking in Win 8 analog to the Win 7 command?
