XP - Opening Folders In New Window

[mississippimills]

I would like to be able to open a new window for a folder, only on
occasion. In other words, I want to open new folders in the same
window most of the time, but there are times when viewing two windows
would be more convenient. However, I want to do this without going
through START, My Computer, etc. a second time. Can I add an "Open in
new window" choice to the drop-down menu that opens with a right click?

D/l and install Xplorer2 which has split screen , you can look at same
folder or 2 different ones as you like . ( Xplorer2 lite is the free
one )

Right-click and choose "Explore". This opens a new window (with tree view),
assuming that you're not currently in Explorer mode.
