     Win+E opens File Explorer. *What* File Explorer displays on opening,   
   depends on the Folder Options settings [1]. Its 'Open File Explorer to:'   
   setting offers 'Home' or 'This PC'. So if this setting is set to 'Home',   
   Win+E does something different than the 'This PC' icon on the Desktop.   
      
   [1] File Explorer ->  icon -> Options -> opens   
   'Folder Options' applet -> 'General' tab.
