I have Explorer pinned in my taskbar but when clicked, it opens by default my "Libraries" directory and not the desired "Documents" directory.

Just drag the link to your
Documents
folder to the task bar. It will show up as a link to start theWindows Explorer
but you will see theDocuments
folder listed as one of the pinned folders in the jump list.If you wish to force the link to open to the folder directly, you can modify the shortcut to open the folder of your choice. Just right click on the link, right click on the
Windows Explorer
shortcut and go to properties. Then add the path to your folder in the target. You could use%USERPROFILE%\Documents
in this case.
