By default, Windows Explorer will open My Documents folder as its initiate folder. And if you want to modify it to your own folder, just modify the parameter in its shortcut.

Usually, user will open Windows Explorer by click its short where located in Start - All Programs - Accessories, so if you open from there too, right click the Windows Explorer icon/shortcut then click Properties menu. In Shortcut tab, focus on Target text box, you'll get in there shortcut string to explorer.exe that wrote like this %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe. To pointing to your folder automatically if it started, add this parameter /e, c:\your_own_folder, for example if you want pointing to C:\Data folder, type like this /e, c:\data. So in target text box fill like this %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, c:\data then click OK button to save it.
Now, type to open it. Almost forgeted, you also can create your own Windows Explorer shortcut on your Desktop to open it easier. To create shortcut (I think you're already knew to create it), right click on empty space of Desktop, click New - Shortcut menu then type in Type the location of the item text box : explorer.exe /e, C:\data then click Next, give it your own name of shortcut then click Finish to create the shortcut.
