I was wondering what command line instruction would allow Windows Explorer
to open with a "My Computer" configuration as default, as opposed to "My
Documents" etc...

Thanks..

Create a shortcut with the following as the target. Note: You need to include
the trailing comma.

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,

If that doesn't work for you, take a look at this article.
