In the process of copying these files to usb chips for her reader (provided by the WTBBL), I end up moving files around from archives on my hard drive (she likes to re-read books, sometimes frequently.)

When I do this, I'm constantly finding that Windows explorer has closed all of the parts of the file tree that I recently opened, and will re-use, forcing me to re-open the tree again. I haven't found any way to force Win7 to change this behavior.

1. Am I overlooking something that actually *will* change the behavior to leave the folders open?

2. Anyone got a favorite replacement for windows explorer that would do this instead?
You could try Q Dir It's been my default for several years. It's light, small and free, so you have nothing to lose by trying it out
