Can't Open New Explorer Windows in *same* Window??
Posted by John Montgomery on January 20th, 2006


Hi,

Despite repeatedly setting, "Open each folder in the same window", folder
clicks in Windows Explorer persist in opening up a new window as I drill
down. How can I stop this, please, and revert to my preferred behaviour -
opening sub-folders in the same window?

Use to be I only got this new-window behaviour when I held down CTRL &
clicked.

(Using WinXP Pro SVP2)

Thanks for any help.
:-)
