You press Windows + E, to open up explorer, Does any one know where you can change that so you can have it open up a 3rd party Explorer? There are other 3rd party explorer i want to use, but I always keep going back to explorer, becaue I use windows key + E, to open it up all the time..
Anyone?

I am far from expert in this area.. :o
But I suspect that to do what you want will require altering something in the registry..maybe someone more knowledgeable will be able to point you to the right key etc..
But an easy and quick fix (I am assuming you are running XP) is to create your own keyboard shortcut ie. CTRL + ALT + ? name it after the first letter of the application you wish to start??.. best of both worlds, use either one etc??
Anyway, This Link (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=310417) shows how to create a shortcut to any application.. takes about 1 minute to set up.. (It works....just tried it).. :D
