Annoying feature in MS

[SuperDave]

Whenever I open Windows Explorer in any version the first thing that opens up is "My Documents" That's not where I want to go. Is there any way to disable this and automatically open the C: drive instead?

By default, Windows Explorer always opens with My Documents. You can customize it by changing the properties for the Windows Explorer icon and replace the Target field with: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, c:\yourfolder

• Right click on the icon you use to launch Explorer and select Properties.
• In the Target box, type (or replace the existing text with) the following:
  %SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /e, path

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. To have My Computer listed as the default selection, type explorer.exe /e,
