How do I open two "Computer" windows on Windows 7?
Click with the middle mouse button in the taskbar on a Windows Explorer button.
The simplest way is to press Win+E (thanks @Abraxas), or Ctrl+N whilst in the Computer explorer window (Or any explorer window you wish to duplicate). You can also click File
-> Open new window
(This is in Windows 10, the option may be slightly different in Windows 7)
Alternatively, if you wish to do this by a shortcut, set up a shortcut that opens explorer.exe /n
, or if you specifically want to open Computer
, set the shortcut to %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n /e,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
, depending on the behaviour you want. This will always create a new window.
Quickest two ways:
Win+E that will open up a new explorer window.
or
Middle-click on the Explorer in the Taskbar
or
Ctrl+N when in an open explorer window
