What ever I click on the left pane shows the contents on the right. . . Useless!!! 
I tried to update to a new version and it errors during the update so really it is probably stuffed. |
When I want to open up two instances of a folder, this is what I do
1. I navigate to my documents folder and open up the sub folder I want.
2. On the left is an table of icons one of which is my documents folder
3. I
right click on that documents folder and choose open in new tab
4. On this second tab, I navigate to the second folder I want to open.
I now have two folders open, one in each tab. If I wanted to, I could have opened each in a new window.
The key is to right click to open up the second folder. Otherwise, as you posted, it just closes the first folder and opens up the second folder.
Does that help you?
