Why is that when I click on the WINDOWS EXPLORER, I end up in DOCUMENTS?

There are chances that your system has infected with some virus or threat.
I would suggest you to scan your system with an updated antivirus & spyware software. This is may be due to some changes in settings.

The default locations of saving the documents and downloaded files is My Documents. So when you press Windows Explorer key shortcut from the Keyboard or when you press [Win]+E keys, Windows Explorer opens which lands you to My Documents.

Understand....then how do I get into WINDOWS EXPLORER?

When you open My Computer or open any folder, the user interface showing you the window and the files and all the GUI is known as Windows Explorer. When you open any folder, you are already into Windows Explorer.

Perhaps I'm not explaining or describing my problem properly. I want to SEE/EXPLORE the various components that are in a program file!

Press [Win]+E keys to open the Explorer... Should have detailed it before...

Try this. Launch Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del. Then you can see a Task Manager windows. In the click on File and then New Task. In the box type explorer.exe and click on OK. When you click on OK and Windows Explorer window will come up. But if the Task Manager is Disable and not coming up then try to run a system restore.
