    How Do I Open Windows Explorer to Desktop by Default?


    Don't know if it will fill the bill but I right-click the Folder icon on the Taskbar and have several choices, some Pinned and some Recent, to make things happen. I even can hover over that icon and see if I have more than one instance of File Explorer open at the same time [usually do]. The blue underline/bar on icons on the Taskbar indicate something open, just like the dot under the icons on the Dock bar on macOS or older Mac OS X.
