When you double click on win explorer in vista ultimate by default it opens
in an expanded My Documents folder.I know you can right click and collapse
the folder but would prefer if My Documents does not open in expanded
view.Any suuestions how to do this ?Thank You , Thomas
 
The easiest thing to do is to create a shortcut to My Computer, your
UserProfile folder, or whatever location you prefer. You can then drag the
shortcut to the Quick Launch bar or pin it to the Start Menu.

If you want to modify the default shortcut found under:

"C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start
Menu\Programs\Accessories"

you can do so by editing the 'Target' command line found on the 'Shortcut'
tab in the Shortcut's 'Properties' dialog. More info on that here:
