Multiple Explorer Windows?

from Stardock Forums

I just switched from Rocket Dock and it had a built in icon to the Windows Explorer that opened a new Explorer every time I clicked on it.

I looked a the link and in OD, it is: C:\Windows\explorer.exe, in Rocket Dock, the link is something weird: ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

I made an icon to: ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} and it opens explorer with the tile bar saying "Computer", but it won't open multiples.

 

How can I have an icon that will let me open multiples of Windows explorer?

 

Thanks.

Open OD config/Settings Tab/Advanced Tweaks. Uncheck the top option "When shortcut is run........ bring it to the foreground only." Click OK.  Close and reopen OD. This works for a shortcut to  Explorer.exe and opens Libraries on Win7. The link to computer ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} doesn't seem to want to play by the same rules, however.

Thanks. That does what I need. I don't really care about the computer ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} , I just copied that because I thought there was something magic about it from Rocket Dock. THe imporant thing was to be able to have multiple explorer windows open. And another program I use all the time with multiple instances.


Thanks
