Drag and Drop files and folders in Windows Explorer

In XP I used to be able to open multiple copies of Explorer so I could drag files/folders from one folder to another. How do I do that on W7 Windows Explorer?

Thanks,

hi welcome to the forum. i am not on a win 7 machine at the moment but try holding the shift key while opening another exployer window see if that works. as i know that works for IE

If you change the shortcut to use this switch...

Code:

%windir%\explorer.exe /N

...you should get a new Explorer window each time.

Thanks,

Can you say what method you used.

Hold the Shift key to open the second copy of Windows Explorer.

Ok you can try the other suggestion too.
