It's a change in the Windows registry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTFoldershellexplorecommand
change the value to (example):
%SystemRoot%Explorer.exe /separate,/e,C:Program Files
You can use "%HOMEPATH%My Documents" for your home path ("My documents").
Be careful when you change registry entries!
Here are some other options for explorer.exe:
Explorer.exe Command-Line Options for Windows XP
/n Opens a new single-pane window for the default
selection. This is usually the root of the drive that
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 program selected.

I can't get this to work on Win7. Do you write the string to the Default value, i.e.: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTFoldershellexplorecommand] "DelegateExecute"="11dbb47c-a525-400b-9e80-a54615a090c0" @="%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /separate,/e,C:\Program Files" I tried this, then rebooted, but no luck. Thanks for any help, Stefan!

I had the same problem and just renamed that entry to DelegateExecute.delete But I set the Default to %SystemRoot%explorer.exe /n, /e, C: This fixed it!
