Change Explorer Bar default to "folders"

Guest

I have a button on my Office toolbar that opens windows explorer to a
particular folder. It used to be that when Windows explorer opened it would
be by default with the "folders" view in the "Explorer Bar" on the left side
of the screen. That was best for me because I would save files in a few
folders. I recently changed the destination on my button that opens Windows
explorer and for some reason, the Explorer Bar is the new version that
appeared with windows XP. That may be useful in some cases, but it's not
what I want. Can I change this without having to do it manually every time?
Thanks

Adjust the shortcut for the button: "Explorer.exe Command-Line Options
for Windows XP" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314853).
