Open each folder in its own windowFolder Options enables you to change the appearance of your desktop and folder content, and specify how folders open. For example, you can select whether you want a single window to open (instead of cascading windows) when you open folders that are within the selected folder. Additionally, you can designate whether folders open with a single-click or double-click.
You can also use Folder Options to turn on the Active Desktop or display hyperlink text in folders (General tab), change the program used to open certain types of files (File Types tab), or make files available when you're not connected to the network (Offline Files tab).
Changes you make in Folder Options apply to the appearance of the contents of Windows Explorer (including My Computer, My Network Places, My Documents, and Control Panel) windows. However, Folder Options settings do not apply to the folder toolbars. For more information about changing folder toolbars, see Related Topics.
To configure folder options settings, open Folder Options in Control Panel, or click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Folder Options. Or, in Windows Explorer, click Tools, and then click Folder Options.
You can configure additional folder views by clicking the View menu in Windows Explorer.
Additional desktop items such as color, wallpaper, and screen savers, are configured by using Display in Control Panel.
