I don't believe that you can get rid of My Documents.
You can change the focus so that My Computer or a specific drive and folder is displayed.
You need to edit the short-cut for Windows Explorer.
For My Computer with no drives expanded the shortcut is:
Explorer.exe /n, /e, /select, c:\
For a specific folder:
Explorer.exe /n, /e, c:\folder

Clicked Windows Explorer, then Properties. On the Short Cut tab under Target I inserted Explorer.exe /n, /e, /select, c:\ so that after the change the line read
C:\WINNT\Explorer.exe /n, /e, /select, c:\
When I pressed the Apply buuton a message said invalid command. I came out, went back and tried again. This time it worked. nOW when I click on the Windows Explorer icon the same display appears as when I click on My Computer icon, and I don't have to look at the details of My Documents.
Thank you for proving the modifiers. I did a copy/passte both times. I wonder why it didn't work the first time?
