To get Windows Explorer to open to "My Documents" you must create a short cut to your desk top or anywhere you please then try right clicking it to Properties and in the Target field, enter the following string exactly as shown here:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n, /e, c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents

If you have a name other than "Administrator" showing as a sub directory under "Documents and Settings" than enter that name instead of "Administrator" in the target field above.

Or better yet right click the "Windows Explorer" icon not the short cut and make sure that the following string is in the target field;
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe
