Hi SAX,
By default, Windows Explorer always opens with My Documents. Customize it by changing the properties for the Windows Explorer icon and replace the Target field with:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, c:\yourfolder
1. Right click on the icon you use to launch Explorer and select Properties.
2. In the Target box, type (or replace the existing text with) the following:
%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /e, <PATH>
Where in place of <PATH> above you should enter the actual path to the directory you want open by default. For example C:\Windows, or C:\Documents and Settings, etc. The path also doesn't require quotes around it. To have My Computer listed as the default selection, type explorer.exe /e,
