That depends on the shortcut you use..

For explorer view, use shortcut target :
explorer.exe /e,"Path here"

If you want that Manage and other things
OR
If you want to use the same icon then edit registry :

You can use this reg file [Put this in Notepad, save with .reg extension]:


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell]
@="open"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\open]
@="Open [Explore]"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\open\command]
@="explorer.exe /e,"


If you want to launch some folder(not My computer) then change the :
explorer.exe /e,
to something like :
explorer.exe /e, "FolderPath"




If you want the default thing back then run following from Start> RUN

reg add "HKCR\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell" /ve /d "none" /f



FYI, My computer and explorer are same (explorer.exe)..
