I wan't to change the default folder when I will open the explorer. By
default, when I will open the explorer, it goes to my documents. I try to
update the shorcut's Start In textbox but still it opens my document folder.
Can you help?

This "Target" in the properties box will open my Temp folder.
%windir%\explorer.exe /e,/root,C:\temp
Just replace the C:\Temp with put the folder you want.
 
Edit the shortcut's "Target" to read
%systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,D:\
Where D:\ is the drive and or directory you wish to expand.
