Hi. I'm having a problem with multiple Windows Explorer windows opening when I click on folders in the Windows Explorer window; for example, if I want to get to my iTunes songs, I click on "C:" on the left side of the Windows Explorer window and then "Users" on the right side. When I click on "Users," a second window opens up with my name, Jonathan, as one of the folders. When I click on "Jonathan," a third window opens with the "My Music" folder in the new window. I then click on "My Music," which opens up a fourth window that brings me to my iTunes folder. When I click on the iTunes folder, a fifth window opens, bringing me to the "iTunes Media" folder. When I click on that folder, a sixth window opens, bringing me to the "Music" folder. When I click on the "Music" folder, a seventh window opens, bringing me to a list of the names of the artists in my iTunes library. I then click on an artist name, which opens an eighth window with the folder "Unknown Album" in it. I click on "Unknown Album" and a 9th window opens with a list of the songs.

I then have to go back and close all the windows I don't need. And it doesn't just happen with iTunes; it happens with everything.

Any help would be very much appreciated.
