How can I change the windows explorer start folder (When I open windows explorer it starts at Document settings\my user\)

I just want it to start at C:\

I'm guessing it's a registry entry but does anyone know where to find it?

Thanks.

This will open it in "My computer" Copy and paste in explorer properties target field.
%systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

I am sure there is one for C:/ Google it :)

Sorry Bony Maloney, where do you mean for me to put this? If I go into regedit and go to:

Shell\Shell\explore\command\ and then edit the value of defualt which currently is "%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /e,/idlist,%I,%L"
 
Ahh I see, ok done that, thx. I normally get into windows explorer by right clicking the start menu and clicking explore, doing it this way still goes into my documents\my user\ etc

Do you think that reg key will be responsible for that?
