Solve : Opening explorer.exe?

1.	Solve : Opening explorer.exe?
Answer» If i was to open explorer.exe is there anyway to switch between to two interfaces??? so for instance have my music on 1 and my work on the other. i understand this would slow down my computer but it would be great to know Thanks, KhasiarIm guessing you mean like in Linux where you can switch between more than one work spaces, and I'm also guessing this is to hide something and pretend you're doing something else (Excuse me if I'm wrong). If I am correct, no, you cannot open explorer.exe more than once. Give it a try. It won't work. But you could simulate another Work station inside of yours using VMware. If you have a good nVidia video card you can, but not with batch. if you are using XP follow the below link and down load the "Virtual Desktop Manager" http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspxdam, i was hoping for an inbuilt solution, thanks anyway guyz Quote from: Khasiar on NOVEMBER 18, 2009, 04:57:00 PM dam, i was hoping for an inbuilt solution, thanks anyway guyz I take it you don't have admin rights and aren't allowed to install anything. Sounds like Google may have been correct. What are you trying to hide? You can have 2 Explorer WINDOWS open and tile them vertically. Or there are various free Explorer substitutes with multi pane layout options such as xplorer² Quote from: Salmon Trout on November 19, 2009, 12:39:12 AM You can have 2 Explorer windows open and tile them vertically. Or there are various free Explorer substitutes with multi pane layout options such as xplorer² HAHAHAHa yea actuallly how could I have been so ignorant to not think of this?!?!? Nice Actually i am doing this at work and have admin rights as i am in ITbtw that picture is blank, are you talking about 2 folder explorers or actual user interface explorers Quote from: Khasiar on November 19, 2009, 05:39:59 PM btw that picture is blank, are you talking about 2 folder explorers or actual user interface explorers The picture is definately not blank, and to answer your question, it is of 2 folders open beside each other. Quote from: Khasiar on November 19, 2009, 05:39:59 PM btw that picture is blank, are you talking about 2 folder explorers or actual user interface explorers Maybe PHOTOBUCKET is blocked where you are viewing this forum? 2 instances of Windows Explorer. I am not sure what this means: " 2 folder explorers or actual user interface explorers"Quote from: Khasiar on November 19, 2009, 05:38:49 PM Actually i am doing this at work and have admin rights as i am in IT Is there any reason you can't download and install the desktop manager I provided the link to? Since you are in "IT" I will wait for you to figure out what vital information you have left out in all of this.Windows Explorer handles both the windows desktop and the "folder explorers" more precisely, Explorer windows. I believe that Windows Explorer only allows one "desktop" windows explorer to run WITHIN each desktop. If one is already running, it opens a Explorer Window instead. Short story: if you want two DESKTOPS, you'll need a multiple desktop solution, such as that already provided. I've always rather liked the SysInternals "Desktops" program: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc817881.aspx added advantage is that it works on Vista And windows 7... I think.
