To make it open at a specific folder add the path after the C:\

Right click explorer, go into properties. At the end of the target line, you need to add /e, and then the directory you want it to open.

For example on my pc I have the 'downloads' folder on my d-drive opened. To achieve this the tareget line looks like this:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, d:\downloads

Its a good idea to do this with a shortcut rather than the windows explorer program itself.
