When I open explorer it always opens at the My Documents
Folder and this is expanded. How do I get explorer to
open at the C:Drive rather than My Documents?

Thanks

How to Have Windows Explorer Default to the %SystemRoot% Drive When Started

Create or modify your existing shorcut to read:

%systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,/root,

This will cause Windows Explorer to open to the drive that XP is installed
on.
