Hi,

When I open Windows Explorer "My Documents" folder is expanded on the left
side. I would rather have my "Local Disk (C:)" expanded. Is there a way
to make this so?

TIA

.
In WindowsExplorer/tools/folder options/look around.
Click to expand...
 
By default, Windows Explorer always opening up with My Documents. Customize
it, by changing the properties for the Windows Explorer icon and replace the
Target field with: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n, /e, c:\yourfolder

1. Right click on the icon you use to launch Explorer and select Properties.
2. In the Target box of Properties type (or replace the existing text with)
the following (without quotes):

"%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /e, C:"

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.
