SHIFT DOUBLE CLICKING ON MY COMPUTER

When you double click on My Computer you get a window that looks a bit like a single-paned Explorer. But if you hold down the shift key while double clicking on My Computer, you get a window that looks more like the regular double-paned Explorer view. One difference is that the left pane of the 2-paned My Computer view begins with My Computer, rather than with your C: drive. If you would prefer not to hold down the shift key while double clicking on My Computer in order to get a double-paned Explorer view, there is another way: right Click on My Computer, then choose the Explore option on the context menu that pops up. On this same context menu, the Open option corresponds with the normal single-paned view of My Computer.
