Adding
a second Explorer to the menu that pops up when right clicking
on any folder or the Start Button.
This is handy to be able to open Explorer non-expanded and
also for being able to open a second Explorer (non-expanded)
while already in Explorer.
Open
My Computer
Choose View-Options-File Types
Select the File Folder file type
Click Edit
For ACTION, type EXPLORER2
For APPLICATION USED, type C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE /n,/e,/select,C:\
Click OK and close all windows
Run REGEDIT
Expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
Locate and expand DIRECTORY
Locate and expand SHELL
Locate and expand EXPLORER2
Select COMMAND
On the right window RIGHT CLICK on DEFAULT
Select MODIFY
Remove the space and %1 at the end of the line
Click OK and close REGEDIT
EXPLORER2 will show up and launch a non-expanded view of
Explorer whenever you right-click on the START BUTTON or
any folder, even if you are already in Explorer.
The
whole procedure can be done in REGEDIT, but this may be
safer for users not experienced with REGEDIT
