- Windows Explorer shell program - 4 open windows
- Posted by SeaMaid on September 26th, 2005
Can someone recommend an alternative to Windows Explorer, where I can have 4
windows open at once for different folders/drives? Must be compatible with
XP Pro SP2.

Multiple views shouldn't be an issue with Windows Explorer.

Are you aware that you can simply open Windows Explorer (or My
Computer) four times?

As other have replied, you can run 4 or more instances of WE.
If you need a better file manager, Directory Opus 8.0 is one of them; free

Nothing stops you from doing that in Windows Explorer.

Anywhere. Are you getting some error?

I only want 4 Explorer windows SOME of the time, not ALL of the time. I get
the impression that once I use this script, explorer.exe will open ALL the
time with 4 windows. How do I make explorer go back to normal after using
the 4-pane view?

It doesn't change any explorer's settings. Use it as a shortcut, it's really just a web page.
