How can I configure My Documents so that it immediately shows the
complete
folder structure, without having to push the MAPS button each time I
open
the
explorer?


Sounds like what you want to do is open Explorer to C: instead of the My
Documents default in XP.
If so, disregard the system tip on the page found here.
http://support.microsoft.com/default...B;en-us;257518. This
procedure works for me on XPSP3.

No, don't disregard the link above. It is the right way to do it.
In the target box:
Add %systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,/root, and explorer will open in the
root.
Add %systemroot%\explorer.exe /e, and it will open in My Computer.
Add %systemroot%\explorer.exe /e, C: and it will open in the drive C.
Add %systemroot%\explorer.exe /e, C:\Windows and it will open there.

You could set it to open anywhere you want to by just entering the right
path.
Note that there is a blankspace after the e, except for the path to the
root.

It seems you misunderstood/mis-read my response. The "System Tip" link on
the page I posted is to be ignored, 'NOT' the instructions to "redirect"
Explorer. These are very same instructions I use whenever I have to
reinstall XP.
