Windows XP TechTip #4 >> Folders

Imagine this scenario:

You are a multitasking type of person and have these 5-or-so folders opened for easy access. Suddenly, Windows Explorer crashes and gone are the 5-or-so folders with it.

Frustrating?

Windows XP actually has an option for you to preserve these folders on explorer crash.

Open the Folder Options (either from Control Panel or from the Tools menu of explorer).



Check the "Launch folders windows in a separate process."

And while you're at it you could also disable caching of thumbnails by ticking "Do not cache thumbnails". Remember the "thumbs.db" file appearing everywhere if you have the "Show hidden files and folders" enabled? Disabling this option gets rid of it.

That's it.
