MUCH EASIER THAN IT SOUNDS

"Is there a way to edit the Registry to make Explorer open with all drives in their collapsed view?"

There's no Registry editing necessary for this one. Right-click My Computer, select Explore, and there you have it--an Explorer view with all drives collapsed.

Also, as you may remember from a previous tip, you can make any Explorer shortcut open to this view. Right-click the shortcut (for example, the one in your Start, Programs menu), select Properties, and click the Shortcut tab. Replace the text on the Target line with:

C:\Windows\Explorer.exe /n,/e,/root,,/select,C:\

and click OK.
