When I try to open Windows Explorer using Start/programs/accessories, it
opens up My Documents. Is this right?
 
That's normal. This tweak allows you to set which directory it will display
by default upon opening:

1. Right click on the icon you use to launch Explorer and select Properties.
2. In the Target box of Properties type (or replace the existing text with)
the following (without quotes):

"%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /e, path"

Where in place of path above you should enter the actual path to the
directory you want open by default. For example C:\Windows, or C:\Documents
and Settings, etc. The path also doesn't require quotes around it.
