Nifty Windows Trick
Fri, 27 January, 2006 – 5:28 pm
I'm actually posting this so I don't waste an hour finding the answer yet again when I next format my computer and can just come back here! I prefer to use Windows Explorer when browsing my computer but I'm just not into the whole right click and explore malarky. So here's how to make the Explore option default…
Go to Control Panel – Folder Options – File Types
Reorder the list of file types by name and scroll down to 'Folder' which has a type of N/A
Click on it and then click Advanced
Here in the white box below you have "explore" and "open". Click on "explore" and click on Set Default
Voila 
Nice tip Sarah.
Feel free to post it on any tech support sites you visit ;o)

You can always press the Windows Key + E to get Windows Explorer up too

Windows Key + E is as bad as right click and choose explore
!!
Ack it's changed now anyhow, perfect for my requirements of jumping all over the computer and network between folders
