Who likes having millions of Windows open? This is why I've chosen to 'Open each folder in the same window' in the Windows Explorer. To toggle this setting, I open the 'Folder Options' from 'Settings' in the Start Menu and press the 'Settings' button therein. Otherwise, getting to a folder 14 levels down can get quite messy. Now, if I ever NEED to open another Windows Explorer window in the midst of navigating, I just depress the CTRL key and double-click another folder. Either that, or (while still pushing the CTRL key) I push the 'Folder Up' icon in the toolbar. If I want to get rid of all those extra Explorer windows I opened, I find the most nested one, depress the SHIFT key, and close the window. Blammo -- they're all gone.
