When I open windows explorer the my documents section opens. I would like
to set it up so that "my documents" remain closed and "my computer" opens.
Is it possible to set it up this way ?

Right click on an Explorer icon/short-cut, Properties
In the target area put:
E:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /e,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
<Apply>

Try this one...

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

Trax's target was for the E: drive.

That's why I like to use %windir%, %systemroot%, %homepath%, or
%allusersprofile% then it doesn't matter what the drive is. ;-)
