    How to make Windows Explorer to show a column view?


    Hey guys,
    Lovin' 7 - 64bit here. Question though. In the spirit of liking how OS X Finder (windows explorer counterpart for the mac) works, I'd like to see if there's a way to manipulate windows explorer to show via column view. See screenshot.



    Any ideas, other than using an outside file manager like UltraExplorer?

    thanks
