If you change the Windows Explorer shortcut Target to ( or use a command line):

%SystemRoot%explorer.exe /e,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

Windows 2000 Explorer will open in a My Computer View.

Windows XP Explorer will open a view that is similar to a Windows 2000 My Computer View.

To return Windows 2000 Explorer to the default view, alter the shortcut Target to:

%SystemRoot%explorer.exe /e,::{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}
