Two solutions:
1) No shortcut:
Press Windowskey + "E" simultaneously. This opens Explorer with MyComputer
as target
2) Modify your Explorer shortcut in Start menu (in my case it's SO
frequently used, I created a Quicklaunch button):
Rightclick on shortcut and go into properties.
Then click "shortcut" tab.
Then modify default target.
Now how you modify target I really forgot, I set it up once and forgot, and
it's not important - simply Google for "Windows explorer, open in specific
folder" or something to that effect.
Many people have asked your question and Google is filled with answers all
over the place.
For example try this:
explorer /e,
Copy the above into "target" field in shortcut properties.
Here're exampoles from my own laptop:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, C:\zJOBS\zNEWEST-zReducedContr - Everytime I
run Explorer it opens in "Contracts" folder.
I have another shortcut modified as:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, /root, C:\zJOBS\zNEWEST-zReducedContratcs -
This removes left-side pane in Explorer and is excellent for working in a
specific folder being isolated from the rest, but it's not what I use for
global work involving entire harddisk.
There's a Microsoft Knowledgebase article about explorer options.
There's very FEW switches and it's damn simple. Unfortunately. I wish
there were more switches/options
