the way Windows Explorer opens

If I open Windows Explorer at Start-All Programs-Accessories, then it opens automatically My Documents and shows all folders there.
But if I open with WindowsKey+E, it opens automatically MyComputer and shows all drives installed.
I tried already to bring a shortcut from the root directory (explorer.exe) to the Quich Launch bar, but same result as via the Start button.
What I want is a Quick Launch shortcut to Windows Explorer which opens My Computer automatically.
Is there a way in the registry settings?
Thanks for answers in advance.

Right click on the Explorer shortcut icon in your Quick Launch toolbar and choose Properties. In the Target box, add the following to the end of the text:

/n, /e,

It should look like this:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n, /e,

If not, copy the above line and paste it in the Target box and Save.
