Opening explorer.exe

If i was to open explorer.exe is there anyway to switch between to two interfaces??? so for instance have my music on 1 and my work on the other. i understand this would slow down my computer but it would be great to know

Thanks,

Im guessing you mean like in Linux where you can switch between more than one work spaces, and I'm also guessing this is to hide something and pretend you're doing something else (Excuse me if I'm wrong).

If I am correct, no, you cannot open explorer.exe more than once. Give it a try. It won't work. But you could simulate another Work station inside of yours using VMware.

If you have a good nVidia video card you can, but not with batch.

if you are using XP follow the below link and down load the "Virtual Desktop Manager"

I take it you don't have admin rights and aren't allowed to install anything.

Sounds like Google may have been correct. What are you trying to hide? 

You can have 2 Explorer windows open and tile them vertically.



Or there are various free Explorer substitutes with multi pane layout options such as xplorer²

The picture is definately not blank, and to answer your question, it is of 2 folders open beside each other.

Maybe Photobucket is blocked where you are viewing this forum?

2 instances of Windows Explorer. I am not sure what this means: " 2 folder explorers or actual user interface explorers"

Is there any reason you can't download and install the desktop manager I provided the link to?

Since you are in "IT" I will wait for you to figure out what vital information you have left out in all of this.

Windows Explorer handles both the windows desktop and the "folder explorers" more precisely, Explorer windows.

I believe that Windows Explorer only allows one "desktop" windows explorer to run within each desktop. If one is already running, it opens a Explorer Window instead.

Short story: if you want two desktops, you'll need a multiple desktop solution, such as that already provided.

I've always rather liked the SysInternals "Desktops" program:

added advantage is that it works on Vista And windows 7... I think.
