Making Favorites the Default Explorer Folder in Windows 7
I've read a lot about customizing the default function of the Windows Explorer icon in Windows 7 rather than have it open to the libraries folder. I've found ways to change it to open to my computer, desktop, etc. but we are wanting to see if we can get it to open to the Favorites "virtual" folder in Windows 7 (not the IE Favorites).
Here is where we found some info but it doesn't include the Favorites option:

Thanks!

Have you looked at the following post: http://forums.techarena.in/tips-tweaks/1115725.htm
Right click on your explorer icon and choose properties (if it is in the quick bar, right click, then right click on "Windows Explorer", choose properties)...
Choose the "Shortcut" tab,
In the Target field, Add shell:::{323CA680-C24D-409 9-B94D-446 DD2D7249E}
it should read like this..
%windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{323CA680-C24D-409 9-B94D-446 DD2D7249E}
click Ok....
