opening multiple windows when clicking path

Post by harryray2 »

I have full row select disabled...I did a search and several instances came up on my D drive.

When I double click the path D: opens with no problem but if I try to click on another path in D drive it opens but closes the original window.

Is it possible to open multiple windows within the same drive?


Hope this makes sense.

What OS?
What opens when you click on a Path, Windows Explorer?

By default, every different path clicked should open its own Windows Explorer window.

If it is not, then either you've modded something in Everything's settings:
Tools | Options | General -> Context Menu ---> Open... / Explore...

or, something in Windows itself (of which I'm not familiar) causing that action?

Windows Explorer tries to keep only one window open to the same location.

Please try the following:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Context menu tab on the left.
  • Select Open Path
  • Change the Command to:
    $exec("%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" /n,/e,/select,"%1")
  • Click OK.
Windows Explorer will now always open a new window.
