Guest Bob W Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 it takes four mouse clicks and a series of jumpy eye movements to open the Tools/Folder Options dialog and toggle between opening all folders in the same window versus opening them in their own windows. Is there a more efficient way to toggle between these settings?

If I want to open a folder in a separate window, I then right-click on it in the left pane folder list, and select "explore" or "open" instead of the default "expand". You can also right-click then "open" in the right pane to get a new window.

A good alternative; never occurred to me since i rarely use the folder view (old habits die hard)...i'll try it. Ideally there'd be a simpler solution, though.... ie, hold some key down while clicking, to force any folder to open in a new window.

Hold down the Ctrl key while you double click on a folder and it should open in a separate window. Good luck Nepatsfan
