The shortcut for windows explorer opens the window with My Documents
expanded as default. I would like to know how to change the shortcut to
either not expand anything or expand another folder. Can any one please
tell me the command lines I need.

Basically, all you need do is modify the target field of your
Windows Explorer shortcut to point where you want it. In you case,
"%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e ,c:\" (without the quotes) should do the
trick.
