How to change default open directory in Windows Explorer (XP)?

In Windows XP, when I open up Windows Explorer, it defaults to displaying the "My Documents" folder tree every time.

I open and close Windows Explorer windows regularly, but almost never need the My Document tree, so this is getting to be a real pain in the ass!

Is there any way to change this so that it displays the C:\ tree by default, or even better, it remembers what folder I had open last time I ran Windows Explorer?

I've searched the assorted options menus with no luck, but I'm hoping there's a hidden system policy or maybe at least a command line option I can put in the shortcut.
 
How do you default to open to My Computer instead of a particular drive? Better yet, do you know where to find documentation on these parameters?

Thanks.
