Default Command Line for...
Hello,
Is there a command line for opening folders in the same window?
cause somehow folders won't open in the same windows, and this is annoying me..
i use now just plain "explorer.exe" to call new folders.
Any "-self" or something like that???

Thanks in advance

xsiv said it right, also check.

Launch Explorer
Tools
Folder Options
Click View (tab)
Uncheck "Launch folder windows in a separate process"
Click "Apply to All Folders"
Click "Apply"
Click "OK"
Restart Explorer

Good luck.
