Anyone know of a shortcut to open a folder in a new window. There is a right click option to do it, but I can't find a keyboard shortcut. The only one I can find is to "open a new window" which is NOT the same as opening a folder in a new window.

Reply #3 SHurley Jan 6, 2016 at 07:49 am

Tx for the Shift 10 e response. I find it very helpful. I forget where I was looking and now don't have to worry about getting that file path back.

Reply #2 Anon May 27, 2015 at 01:41 am

Pressing Ctrl+Enter will open the selected folder in a new window

Reply #1 admin Jan 14, 2015 at 05:37 am

No default as far as i know, but you can do [Shift]+[F10] to emulate right mouse click, then [e]. for Op[e]n in New Windows.

For example WIN + D does nothing on my machine. Why anyone would want to disable it is beyond me.
