    Is there a way to change it from opening in My Document to your C drive like '98 did?

    Yes

    Click Start , point to Programs , point to Accessories , right-click Windows Explorer , and then click Properties .


    Click the Shortcut tab.


    Add the following text behind the text in the Target box:


    /e,/root,
    The text in the Target box should then appear as:
    %systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,/root,
    Click OK . When you start Windows Explorer, the root drive is the default view.

    also good info

    Explorer [/n] [/e] [(,)/root,<object>] [/select,<object>]

    /n Opens a new single-pane window for the default
    selection. This is usually the root of the drive Windows
    is installed on. If the window is already open, a
    duplicate opens.

    /e Opens Windows Explorer in its default view.

    /root,<object> Opens a window view of the specified object.


    /select,<object> Opens a window view with the specified folder, file or
    application selected.

    Examples:

    Example 1: Explorer /select,C:\TestDir\TestApp.exe

    Opens a window view with TestApp selected.

    Example 2: Explorer /e,/root,C:\TestDir\TestApp.exe

    This opens Explorer with C: expanded and TestApp selected.

    Example 3: Explorer /root,\\TestSvr\TestShare

    Opens a window view of the specified share.

    Example 4: Explorer /root,\\TestSvr\TestShare,select,TestApp.exe

    Opens a window view of the specified share with TestApp selected.
