Setting-up WinXP Home

Hi:

I am setting-up WinXP Home and notice that new windows open when I open any
folder after clicking on My Computer, instead of replacing the open window.
For example, if I select My Computer=>Local Disk(C)=>Documents and Settings,
etc., I will have 3 open windows in the taskbar and it quickly gets crowded.
How do I restore the setting where new windows replace open windows?

Thanks.

Adam

Hi,

Tools/Folder Options, on the general tab change the option to open each
folder in the same window.
