Getting ''My Computer'' to open with Explorer, but not at ''My Documents''.

This is driving me nuts.
In short, I want to have My Computer open as Explorer (with the folders window).
Now, I know of 2 ways to do this, but neither work due to other reasons.
Changing the default action for folders to Explore gets My Computer to open exactl
how I'd like it to, but it makes other Start menu icons, like My Documents and My
Music to open the same way - which I definaly don't want.
Using Regedit to cause get My Computer to open with explorer keeps my other folders
opening how I want, but since it always defaults to opening in My Documents, the
window always resizes to the size I like to keep My Documents.
Irritating.
So, what I'm idealy looking for is a way to do the Regedit method but to change the
default folder My Computer then opens to to a drive, rather than My Documents.
I've gone over the regestry and can't find anything to change it, and I've looked
everywhere in XP I can think such a setting might be hidden, but I'm at a loss.
Thanks.
