Most folks want to go the other way - change Windows Explorer to opening at
C: instead of My Documents. But we each have our own personal preferences.

If you have not altered the Windows Explorer shortcut in the Start Menu
(Start> (All) Programs> Accessories> Windows Explorer)
it should still be opening at My Documents when clicked. Copy that shortcut
to wherever it's convenient for you.

Alternatively, create a new shortcut.
Use
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe
as the target line and
%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
in the "Start in:" box.
