New system, Vista installed from Dell. Not an upgrade from XP.
And I don't have to press shift, just highlight a folder on either the right
side or the left side of Windows Explorer.
And now it has changed. The left side no longer opens any folder in the
C:\Windows\System32 folder, but in the C:\Users\"current user" folder.
