How to open folder in a new window

I'm quite new to Vista and trying to find functions that were
convenient to me in XP. One function I used often is to open a folder
in a new window with Shift key pressed. With 2 windows, I can compare
folders side by side. I can find the function with whatever key I
pressed. I can only control-N to create a new window of the old folder
than click to open the folder I'd like to go into. It's one extra
click to achieve the same result.
Is there a way to do that?

Thanks,

liu
 
Just to post back in case someone else needs the answer. After turning
off the navigation pan at the left side, CONTROL-click a folder opens
a new folder window again.
