Using the OP's idea, when you open two folders, copy from one to the other, the close both folders, you'd expect the copy dialog to remain open; however since as you said, this was opening separate processes, when you closed the 2 windows, the copy dialog gets killed when you close the target folder. Your solution doesn't have that problem. There's also has the added benefit of being able to left-click the shortcut when needing to open multiple windows, rather than right-clicking to open a new instance. Thanks. lordVJ,

This may be a really stupid question but I am now trying to add the personal folder with my name to the taskbar also and have the same problem. Where can I find that location code that I can copy and paste in the same was as I have now done with My Computer??? Thanks – that was so frustrating!!!

Just drag it from the start menu to the desktop 2] Create a new text document. Change its filename and extension to "My Computer.exe" 3] Pin this My Computer.exe to the taskbar 4] Now Open "C:\Users\%User%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar" 5]Replace the shortcut My Computer [ the one linked to the .exe ] with the one on your desktop. 6] Click on the pinned item on the desktop .opening it will not create an extra explorer.exe process and it opens a tad bit faster too :) Thanks mate , but doing so will create another explorer.exe process which is unnecessary

Here’s a way to link my computer directly and much faster

1] Create a shortcut to My Computer on the desktop . Just drag it from the start menu to the desktop
2] Create a new text document. Change its filename and extension to “My Computer.exe”
3] Pin this My Computer.exe to the taskbar
4] Now Open “C:\Users\%User%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar”
5]Replace the shortcut My Computer [ the one linked to the .exe ] with the one on your desktop.
6] Click on the pinned item on the desktop .opening it will not create an extra explorer.exe process and it opens a tad bit faster too :)
