Im on XP at work and run OSX in doors.

is there a shortcut to open a new Windows explorer?

for example i have C drive open & i want to press Key + key to open a new window so i can browse them both side by side?

closet i can find is highlight a folder & press Ctrl+return :mad:

yup. in the unlikely event you want it to open at c:\ everytime, you could create a desktop shortcut....

explorer.exe /e,c:\

of course you can modify that to any folder location

@chaosophy, although that opens a new explorer window, it's always at "my computer" and not at the same location as the currently open window.
