Open
Windows Explorer
by clicking on The Vista Pearl "Start" then hover mouse over "Computer"
|
 |
| Right
click on Local Disk C: If Open is in bold selecting it would
be the same as clicking Open w/o right clicking first. To get
automatic folder windows you must use Open and not Explore.
|
 |
| Notice
that with the folders visible in the Navigation (left) pane "Explore"
is the default action for a double click. |
 |
| Clicking
on the down chevron above removes the folders from the navigation pane
and makes the Open function the default action for the double click. A new window should come up now when clicking
folders in the right pane. |
 |
| Another
way to Accomplish this is to eliminate the Navigation pane
altogether. Just make sure that in the Organize drop down
Layout the Navigation Pane is not highlighted. If it is then click on
it. |
 |
| In
this configuration folders will open in a new window when clicked as
long as "Open each folder in it's own window" is selected in folder
options. |
 |
| Then
with no folders showing in the Computer window or the Navigation pane
not showing at all click on any folder and it will
open in it's own window. |
