open each folder in its own window?

Guest

can anyone give me an example so I can see the difference between these two
settings:
open each folder in the same window (and) open each folder in its own
window these can be found when you click on Control Panel then Tools
then Folder Options, the General Tab and in the Browse Folders

"Open each folder in its own window": If you select this option, when you double-click on a folder in Windows Explorer, the folder will open in a new window. By default, each folder you open appears in the same window and overwrites the previous window contents.

If the "Open each folder in its own window" is enabled: When you open a folder, and double-click on a sub-folder, the sub-folder opens a new explorer/folder window.

If "Open each folder in the same window" is enabled: When you open a folder, and double-click on a sub-folder, the sub-folder opens in the same folder window, replacing the earlier view. If this does not happen, use the fix available at this page:
