Try this:

My Computer / Tools / Folder Options / File Types tab

Select the icon for (NONE) Folder and click the Advanced button.
In the Actions List, select Explore or Open and click Set Default.
Click OK and Close

Explore will cause it to open in 2 pane mode with the drives/folders on the left and folder content on the right.

Open will cause it to open in single pane mode with folder content.
