I changed the properties of the shortcut in the Start Menu (under Accessories) and when I invoke that shortcut I get the new and expected result. But when I invoke Windows Explorer using the Windows Key with the letter E (this is a long-standing Windows convention), I get the Explorer WITHOUT the changes.

If you changed the properties to a shortcut, then those changes would only occur when you launch from that particular shortcut.

You could assign a shortcut key (Ctrl+Alt+E) or something like that to the shortcut.
