Make Windows 8.1 & 10 File Explorer open in "This PC" view [duplicate]

I know how to do that on Windows Vista and Windows 7, and I know how to do that on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, but neither of the ways work with Windows 10; it always defaults into the "Home" view.

(I am basically reposting this question for Windows 10.)

Solution 1:

As of build 9926 (at least - it may have been an earlier build), this is configurable via the GUI.

Open Explorer and go to View, then click Options (or Change folder and search options). In General tab you can change Open File Explorer to This PC

Solution 2:

The registry setting that controls this behavior is the DWORD value name LaunchTo under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

Set the DWORD accordingly:

1 = This PC
2 = Quick access
