Is there any way to stop the My Documents folder from opening every time I
access Windows Explorer?
 
Yes.
You need to make a small change to the short cut properties.
Right click the Windows Explorer shortcut icon and select properties.
On the Target line put a space after what's entered and copy/paste the
following:

/n,/e,C:\

That will open Windows Explorer with C: drive like it use to in previous
Windows versions (they started that with Win2K for some reason, i guess C:
drive was too convenient). :)

If you wish it to open W.E. to a different default drive (some have Windows
installed on D: and up), just replace the C with the other drive letter.

You can create drive shortcuts that way. Just copy the W.E. shortcut and
change the drive letter.
 
It works. Thanks!
