If you are as annoyed as me when you click on the Windows Explorer link it opens up with My Documents expanded when all I want is my c:\ drive. Adding c:\ to the end of the shortcut target like this %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe c:\ lets me avoid this lame annoying issue for a guy like me who gets tired of unexpanding My Documents (especially now that so many software companies are throwing directories into MD) just to see what's below. Hope this helps. BTW, this of course does not work with the link for My Computer. Which is lame anyway, there's those that use MC and those who eschew it. The only nice thing about MC is right-clicking|properties gets you into System settings.
