Shift click in navigation pane....?

Is there seriously no way to shift-click folders in the navigation pane and open a new window...?

Is it just me or does Windows 10 have a more 'dumb' explorer? It somehow manages to end up having less power and functionality, even though we have so many new tabs. Which you can't even slide other folders into- they're just menu options.

Right-click on a folder in the navigation pane in File Explorer and select 'Open in new window'.

I know you can do that, but is there a more convenient way than that?

I'm at a loss to understand why shift click does not do anything special.

Open them from Taskbar Jump Lists.

Thanks, but I actually hate the taskbar pins. They feel really clumsy, probably not helped by the fact that WX deliberately slows the fade-in

I don't always like to push 3rd party software, but, this one is indispensable:

QTTabBar Tabbed Explorer and more!

Middle-click in navigation pane opens selection in a new window.

(providing you are able to simulate a 3 finger middle-click on your trackpad)

(Just a suggestion)

Thanks that's really neat.
