Make Explorer Shortcut Focus on My Computer
If you're tired of Explorer opening up and displaying the contents of My Documents; or if you Want to create an Explorer shortcut that gives you the same result as right-clicking My Computer and selecting Explore, check this out.

First, create an Explorer shortcut in your location of choice. For example, to create one on the desktop, right-click Start, select Open, then double-click Programs. Inside the Programs folder, right-click and drag the Windows Explorer item out to the desktop, release the mouse button, and select Create Shortcut(s) Here.

Right-click the Explorer shortcut, select Properties, and click the Shortcut tab. Replace the text on the Target line with exactly:

C:\Windows\Explorer.exe /n,/e,/root,,/select,C:\

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/n,c:\ (on Windows NT/2000/XP machines)

Click OK, and from now on, double-clicking that shortcut is the same as right-clicking My Computer and selecting Explore.
