Many thanks to you Geek(s) for running such a great site with many useful tips!

I have the following problem and if you don't figure it out I don't know who will: when I double click on D:\ or C:\ or any other partition in My Computer to open it - it opens in new window and not in the same as My Computer. This action crashes my Broadband connection and presumably my Ethernet card, since I couldn't fix it with Disable/Enable or by running diagnostics, and I'm unable to use Internet until I reboot. I'm running XP SP2 on my FS-laptop, which has all the latest (digitally signed) drivers from the official website. If I want to access the files on my drives I must type D:\ or E:\ in the address bar in order to use them. What could cause such behavior and do you know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

You wouldn't believe, but this is already selected as default option, since I didn't change it, but the drive window would still open as a new one... Can't understand... It must be some bug that causes connection crashes as well as not opening folders and files the way it's set to. But that's Windows: never know what to expect. As soon as you adjust it just the way you like it after the fresh install and think you'll be using it like that for some time, it begins to go crazy. :=)

Anyway, thanks for the tip. I just hope I'll get it running normally again somehow, otherwise the monthly reinstall must take place. :)
