Opening Windows Explorer with certain criteria

Hi all~ I open Explorer by right clicking on the Start button and selecting Explore. Explorer opens with several files expanded and it opens up at the Start Menu folder. I would like it to open up at the root of C with only the C folder expanded, no other files expanded.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this from where I access Explorer? The other options I have seen here don’t change Explorer from where I access it.

TIA
