Thanks. Well, this is weird. I have two identical Acer laptops -- one at
work and one at home. Both have Vista. I just tried the folders up/down
arrow that you suggested on the laptop at work and it works fine. In fact,
the whole issue I had regarding Windows Explorer in Vista, isn't a problem
on the Vista laptop at work. I see the split screen, I can navigate like I
always could with Windows Explorer in XP, etc.

So, something must be messed up with my Vista laptop at home.

I'm on my home laptop with Vista now and I can't get the Windows Explorer to
work the way it should. I am guessing it has something to do with some kind
of "View" setting I need to change, but I can't figure out what that is. I
want to be able to use Windows Explorer and navigate among the files and
folders with a split screen so when I click on a folder in the left half of
the screen, what is in that folder gets listed on the right half of the
screen.

Any ideas on what settings I may need to change?
