Right click the shortcut that you use to open Windows Explorer and select
Properties.
In the Target: line, you can use switches to define how you want WE to open.
%systemroot%\\explorer.exe /e,
Will open WE with My Computer highlighted and everything collapsed.
%systemroot%\\explorer.exe /e, C:
Will open WE with the C: drive expanded.
%systemroot%\\explorer.exe /e, C:\any folder\this folder
Will open WE with "this folder" opened.
