open in new window

Dmouse1 · 04-12-2006, 09:32 AM

I just reinstalled my OS,Works great with one exception,when I open a folder and then open a file it opens in a separate window,is there a way to get it to open in the same window and use the back button to return...TIA...

Hi....

This works with XP but I'm pretty sure it's relevant to w2k:

In Explorer, click Tools then Folder Options. Then put a tick in the box titled 'Open each folder in the same window'. Click Apply then OK.

That should sort it :-)
