In Window Explorer, if you attempt to open a file in a column other that the left column
In Window Explorer, if you attempt to open a file in a column other that the left column, the file doesn't open. Instead, the column where the file is located shifts to become the left column. Then, the file can be opened. Of course, this wastes a step compared to XP.

I can double-click on a file's entry in any column at all. The result is the same regardless of the column--the file is opened and the column does not shift. Ken Blake
