XP - Opening Folders In New Window

[Guest mississippimills]

I would like to be able to open a new window for a folder, only on

occasion. In other words, I want to open new folders in the same

window most of the time, but there are times when viewing two windows

would be more convenient. However, I want to do this without going

through START, My Computer, etc. a second time. Can I add an "Open in

new window" choice to the drop-down menu that opens with a right click?

D/l and install Xplorer2 which has split screen , you can look at same

folder or 2 different ones as you like . ( Xplorer2 lite is the free

one )

Right-click and choose "Explore". This opens a new window (with tree view),

assuming that you're not currently in Explorer mode.
