On my Xp I can hold down CTRL and click on a folder. When doing so it will open in a new window. This doesn't work in Vista. Can it somehow be made to work or is it already there albeit with another shortcut ?

It works under 32bit, you could right click then choose explore or you can change the folder options.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately it doesn't work under Vista 64 Ultimate which is where I am. Using explore does not give me a new window - it merely opens the folder.
