Is there a way to change left pane opening view so "My
Documents" does not show contents? i.e. opens with +
instead of -.
 
Right-click the Windows Explorer shortcut.
Click Properties
Replace %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe with 1 of the following:

-----------------------------------------
"My Computer" in left side and C: in right side:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/select,c:
-----------------------------------------
Desktop:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/n,/select,/root,c:
-----------------------------------------
System drive expanded:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/select
-----------------------------------------
System drive expanded:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/select,%systemroot%
-----------------------------------------
Windows Directory expanded:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/root,%systemroot%
-----------------------------------------
Drive C: expanded:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,c:
-----------------------------------------
My Computer in right side:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n,/e,/select,
-----------------------------------------
Opens the Windows folder as a folder:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe %systemroot%
-----------------------------------------
Opens as "My Computer":

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe %systemroot%,
-----------------------------------------
Desktop folder with "My Computer" highlighted:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe %systemroot%,/select,
-----------------------------------------
"Desktop" in the left side:
