Open the 2nd folder 'right side' and move it so it's on the right side of the screen - NOT OVERLAPPING OR TOUCHING THE FIRST FOLDER AT ALL! Open the 1st folder 'left side' and move/size it so it's on the left side of the screen. Make another new folder called 'right side'. Right click on the desktop and choose New folder. If my video camera wasn't broken I would make a video, but try this. I don't think that's a radical concept - having 2 windows open and wanting to see the contents of them both at the same time instead of piling them up on top of each other. How is that useful, exactly? I have to manually drag & move them around (again) to see both at the same time, which is all I want to do in the first place. Instead it PILES THEM UP ON TOP OF EACH OTHER.
Windows doesn't 'save' the positions of them after I carefully arrange them how I want (which is side by side, NOT 'exactly in the same position').
No I'm not talking about 2 instances of the same window (folder) I'm talking about opening two DIFFERENT folders.
