This one is stumping me even though it is so easy.

I want to create a shortcut to a drive on my desktop but I want the window to open in an explorer view, the double pane view you get when you click windows explorer vice my computer. I did this about three windows installations ago but don't know how the heck I did it as I can't make it work now.

You need to add some command lines. Examples:

Explorer /e,/select,c:\
This opens a two-pane Explorer view with none of the drives expanded. This is handy if you have multiple drives and use them all frequently.

Explorer /e,d:\
This opens a two-pane Explorer window that initially displays the contents of drive D:.

Explorer /e,/root,d:\data
This switch combination opens a two-pane window that initially displays the contents of the data folder on drive D:, and from which the user cannot navigate anywhere other than in or below that folder.

Explorer /e,/root,d:\,d:\data
This opens a two-pane window that initially displays the contents of the data folder on drive D:, and from which the user cannot navigate anywhere other than drive D:
