Right click on the shortcut you're using to launch Windows Explorer and select
Properties from the menu.
Look in the Target box on the Shortcut page.
The default entry is %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe.
If you want to have it open in a different folder, add the /e switch followed by
a comma and the path to the folder.

For example, to open Explorer at C:\Windows the target box should contain the
following command.

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,C:\Windows

You can substitute the path to the folder you want opened after /e,

If you want Windows Explorer to open with My Computer expanded, use this
command.

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,

To have it open to your Desktop, use this command.

%SystemRoot%\explorer /e,/select,
