strange behavior. anyway you should already have an icon with your login
name on the desktop.

right-clic-drag the computer icon to the quick launch bar (if this is not
open, right click in the taskbar > toolbars > check it).

right clic the computer icon in the quick launch > properties > and in the
'target' field put
C:\Windows\explorer.exe C:\
or
C:\Windows\explorer.exe C:\Users\yourloginname\Documents
or whatever you like

i myself like better the quicklaunch as shortcuts there only need one clic.
if you prefer having the shortcut on the desktop:
right clic on the desktop > new > shortcut
and paste the above line.

you can set as many shortcuts as you want like this, renaming them like the
folders they link to.
