Question about 'Force Explorer to Start With the Folder You Want'

There is one thing that is really annoying me!  Is there anyway to have the folders 
bar instead of the task pane when browsing standard folders.

E.g, If I double click "my documents" on the desktop (or type c:\windows in 'run', 
or double click a folder), it will launch the folder with the folders bar on the 
left hand side instead of tasks pane. 

I can get rid of the tasks pane already but I am currently unable to force windows 
to launch the explorer bar without either making a shortcut (which is unviable due 
to fact that i open numerous different folders and i don't want a shortcut to each 
one!), or by constantly going to view>explorer bar>folders ???

Why couldn't MS make a Ctrl shortcut to the folders bar??
