No, When you go to Start, Programs, Accessories and right click on the
Windows Explorer shortcut, select Properties. You'll see the Target is:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe
This causes Explorer to open, and it defaults to My Documents, as designed.
Changing the Target path to:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,c:\program files\myprograms
Would open a 2-paned Explorer window, opened to C:\Program Files\myprograms
