Open multiple My Computer windows

Hello, all. Something changed the setting on My Computer yesterday, so that
now I can only open one copy of it. I have it as a shortcut on my Taskbar,
and would click it to open two windows, then drag and drop files from one My
Computer window to the other. Now it opens only one, no matter how many
times I click the icon. How do I get it to open multiple My Computer
windows? Thanks.

If you like to open every folder in a new window, just go to Tools > Folser
Options in my computer. Under the General tab, click "Open each folder in its
own window".

Found a solution: I created a new shortcut on my desktop with its target set
to this: "%windir%\EXPLORER.EXE /n,/e,D:" I'd prefer to have it open to My
Computer, but this is close enough.
