Right clicking on the Start Menu only gives you options to edit the Start
Menu. If you want to open Windows Explorer you need to click on a shortcut
for Windows Explorer. You can go to Start/All Programs/Accessories, look for
the Windows Explorer short. Right click this shortcut and select the Pin To
Start Menu option. This place the shortcut in a handy location right on the
Start Menu.

You can right click this shortcut and select Properties/Shortcut Tab. In the
Location Line, you will see the path where it will open.

You can change the path. For instance, change it to:
"%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe " ,e and WE will open with Computer selected and
all of the drives showing. "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe " ,e C: will open
with the C: drive selected.
"%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe " ,e C:\User\your name will open with your user
account selected, etc.
