Open any folder icon as a two-paned window with a navigation tree Did you know you can open any folder icon as a two-panedwindow with a navigation tree? Just right-click on the
folder and choose Explore. You can launch any folder as an
Explorer window by holding down the Shift key and
double-clicking on the folder. If you really just prefer the
two-paned Explorer windows, you can make that type of window
open by default: Open any folder and choose View/Options
(or Folder Options under IE4/IE5/Win98/NT). Choose the File
Types tab. Select Folder and click on Edit. Under Actions,
highlight Explore. Click on Set Default. The Explore entry
becomes bold, making it the default operation for a
double-click. If you want to reverse the setting, follow
the same steps, but highlight Open instead of Explore.
