      Explorer command line switches
      Let's say that Explorer opens at C:\ and you want D:\ to be open on startup. Find the shortcut in the Windows\Start Menu and change the properties from:

      C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE /n,/e,C:\
      to
      C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE /n,/e,D:\

      To open in My Computer, use:
      C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE /n, /e, ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
      Note the double colon.

      To open to "My Documents" folder, use:
      C:\Windows\Explorer.exe /n, /e, ::{450d8fba-ad25-11d0-98a8-0800361b1103}
      Note the double colon.
