How are you launching Windows Explorer? The behavior you describe sounds as if
you're simply opening a folder or My Computer.
If you're launching Windows Explorer from a shortcut on your Start menu, right
click on the shortcut and select Properties from the menu.
In the shortcut's properties sheet, click on the Shortcut tab.
Check in the Target box.
The default entry is %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe.
You can create a shortcut to have Windows Explorer open to any location you
want. Take a look at this article for more info.
