Changing the Start Location for Windows 7's "Open Explorer" Shortcut (Windows-E)

Big hat-tip to Michael over at 4sysops for this great tip:

If you're an old-fashioned kind of guy like me, you're probably just not...yet...ready to wrap your mind around Microsoft's new "Libraries" feature in Windows 7.  I'll get there, I promise.  But for now, when I click on that explorer link in the Start Bar, I want it to take me to My Computer rather than the Libraries folder.  Michael found this little gem of a tip that shows you how to reset the link so it opens in this different location:

I found this tip in a list of 70 Windows 7 tricks (many of them already work for Vista). The Explorer in Windows 7 opens by default from the Libraries folder. If you want to start the Explorer with the My Computer page, you have to replace the shortcut target with %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /root,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}. Note that you can also open any other folder by just adding the corresponding path as a parameter to the launch command. For example, if you want Windows Explorer to start in C:\Program Files, the target for the Windows Explorer icon would look like this: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe “C:\Program Files”
