Is there a way to set Windows Explorer to default to
another directory when it opens. Right now it goes to My
Documents. I tried setting the target but is seemed to
move files into My Documents.

What I would like it to do is go to C:\Program
Files\myprograms
 
Command Line Switch? Is this something I should find in
my control panel?
 
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
