Question

it’s need pywin32 or cmd or regedit?

please help me。 thanks

You can launch explorer to a startup path as a one-off thing with `explorer.exe /root,c:\users` ( see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314853 ) ... but what do you mean "set the startup path" and "this is a global setting" and "does it need regedit"? Can you give examples of what you want? e.g. "person clicks {here}, Explorer shows {something}" ? — TessellatingHeckler, Mar 28 '14 at 19:39

That link in your comment looks to be modifying a .lnk shortcut file's target property.

Python with PyWin32:

or PowerShell:

The default explorer link might be in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\
