    Not sure if this is what you are after, but ....

    Right click Windows Explorer icon > Properties - Target box and replace .exe in the Target line with .scf ...

    %SystemRoot%\explorer.scf

    Command-Line Switches for Windows Explorer



    HOW TO: Customize the Windows Explorer Views in Windows XP

    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q307856&sd=tech

    Examples

    The following examples describe the use of Windows Explorer switches.

    Explorer /n
    This command opens an Explorer window using the default setting. This is usually the root of the drive on which Windows is installed.

    Explorer /e
    This command starts Windows Explorer using the default view.

    Explorer /e,C:\Windows
    This command starts Windows Explorer using the default view, with the focus on C:\Windows.

    Explorer /root, C:\Windows\Cursors
    This command starts Windows Explorer at the C:\Windows\Cursors folder. This example uses C:\Windows\Cursors as the "root" directory for Windows Explorer.

    NOTE: Note the comma after the "/root" switch in the command.
    Explorer /select, C:\Windows\Cursors\banana.ani
    This command starts Windows Explorer with the "C:\Windows\Cursors\banana.ani" file selected.

    NOTE: Note the comma after the "/select" switch in the command.
    The Windows Explorer switches can be combined in a single command. The following example shows the combination of the Windows Explorer command-line switches.
    Explorer /root, \\server\share, select, Program.exe
    This command starts Windows Explorer using the remote share as its "root" folder, along with the Program.exe file selected.
