Is there a way to set up a default folder for Windows Explorer?

I really like opening new Windows Explorer windows via Win + E but I'm not a fan of it opening to Computer. Can I change that in the registry or something? Looking for a Windows 7 solution

I have an autohotkey script running and added this line:

#e::run c:\public

and that overrode the system setting. You could put any location in there.

(or any action, really, this is autohotkey... :)

No, these are not customizable. You may create another hot key for windows using third party software though, there's a lot out there.

Here's one which may work (maybe, it was a quick google search) https://mysite.uchicago.edu/personal/bsdad_rcarter/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?List=ec587393-9b2f-46b0-87d6-a594b1e8d383&ID=88
