This is handy to be able to open Explorer non-expanded and also for being able to open a second Explorer (non-expanded) while already in Explorer.
- Open My Computer
- Choose View-Options-File Types
- Select the File Folder file type
- Click Edit
- For ACTION, type EXPLORER2
- For APPLICATION USED, type C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE /n,/e,/select,C:\
- Click OK and close all windows
- Run REGEDIT
- Expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
- Locate and expand DIRECTORY
- Locate and expand SHELL
- Locate and expand EXPLORER2
- Select COMMAND
- On the right window RIGHT CLICK on DEFAULT
- Select MODIFY
- Remove the space and %1 at the end of the line
- Click OK and close REGEDIT
EXPLORER2 will show up and launch a non-expanded view of Explorer whenever you right-click on the START BUTTON or any folder, even if you are already in Explorer.
The whole procedure can be done in REGEDIT, but this may be safer for users not experienced with REGEDIT
