My desktop is empty and I keep nothing under C:\Documents and Settings 
nor "My Documents". In fact I've hacked them out of my registry. I have 
C:\Home\$USER (known to Cygwin as ~$USER) and no "My Documents" 
anywhere. And again, my desktop has nothing on it.

They're are lots of methods for this. Indeed simply type "explorer ." 
works! Need it shorter "alias e=explorer" then "e ."!

Just for today, I will not sit in my living room all day in my 
underwear. Instead, I will move my computer into the bedroom.
