Hey, mmmmm, of course, you're correct. It's the "advanced" button. And
it too will become something I do with every fresh load of windows...
Thanks.
Oscar, Of course "win+e" works, but the trick was to get the explorer
files on the right & get it to open the exact place that you frequent.
The best shortcuts are sometimes over looked. It took a while before I
figured out the ctrl+shift+escape to get the task manager.
Any case, the little XSI script thingy is still relevant.

Subject: Re: The two little scripts for opening Explorer Windows.
You can easily change the default behavior of Windows regarding the
explorer style to get rid of that stupid one-window-per-folder-crap:
Open Windows Explorer and on the Extras menu (I have the german Windows
in front of me so please forgive me if some names are wrong - the last
menu to the right before help) open Folder Properties and switch to the
File Types Tab.
In that long list, there is a setting for "Folder" (not "File Folder"),
select it.
Now the button at the almost-bottom of the dialog above "Cancel" called
something like "more" or "extended" ("Erweitert" in german) becomes
active and if you click it, you get another dialog, another list with
only two options:
"explore" and "open".
Select "explore" and press the button "As Standard"
Close all the dialogs with OK.
From now on, whenever you click on a folder link it will be opened with
the full Explorer with folder bar.
...One of the first things I do to any windows installation I work on.
