Can someone tell me how to expand the 'My Documents' folder automatically when I click on Documents in Windows 7 Pro? It lands in the Documents folder which I don't want. I want it to land in the 'My Documents' folder which is found right underneath it.

Via opening a the "File Explorer" program you can't link directly to My Documents, if you open the "File Explorer Options Menu" via "Control Panel" you are given 2 options of where to open "File Explorer" to been your "Quick Access Library" or "This PC", personally I choose "This PC", then just have the "Quick Access Library" expanded on the left side of the "File Explorer Window" customised to my own personal liking and ready to give me access to any area of my computer I may wish to access as shown in attached screen print.

The only way to give yourself a link to "My Documents" folder specifically is to create a desktop shortcut directly to that given folder, unfortunately you wont be able to add this shortcut to the Task Bar or Start Menu, it will have to remain on your desktop, because if you do try to add this shortcut to the task bar or start menu it will simply default back to a shortcut which opens "File Explorer" directly using the selected settings from the limited options given within the "File Explorer Options Menu".

 
Go into My Documents, right click Favorites in the top left and choose "Add current location to favorites"
