How can I configure Explorer to open at a specified directory?

[Frank Martin]

I have WindowsXP and the Explorer opens at the "My Documents" directory.
I want it to open at another directory, but how can this be done?

Frank,

Change the Windows explorer parameter to "explorer /e, c:" [Opens C:
drive]
Or, type the above in RUN box.
