Default Changing explorer default folder in Vista?

Every time I open explorer it goes to some crazy folder that I never use and then I have to navigate to root and then to the folder I am looking for. It's a pain. I would like to change the default folder to c:\ root. Does anyone know how that can be accomplished if it can be accomplished? Oh yea, I am using Vista. Thanks
