I know this has been asked in a subtle different way before (Change the folder that Windows Explorer starts at), but I want to open the Windows Explorer on a folder that is on my desktop in Windows XP.

What I am doing currently is:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/n,Desktop\Folder

But it redirects me to

"C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Desktop\Folder"

as a subfolder of c:\

How it looks in the explorer:

Desktop
 |->My Documents
 |->My Computer
 | |->c:\
 |     |->Documents and Settings
 |        |-><username>
 |           |->Desktop
 |              |->Folder *Shortcut puts me here*
 |->Recycle Bin
 |->Folder *I want to be here*

Any ideas?
