Opening a folder in a new window?

Is there a way to click on part of the path in an open window and open that
path in a new window? For example:

I'm in Nigel > Documents > Excel, and I want to open a second window on
Nigel > Documents so I can drill down elsewhere.

I've tried all the usual suspects, but can't find the click+key combo.

In Windows Explorer

Tools_Folder Options_put tick mark in Open each folder in its own window

I use the mouse...right click a folder in the nav tree...hit open, and a new
window opens

The setting "open each folder in its own window" seems to have no effect.
Right clicking "open" works though.

Well, yes. But I don't want it to do it every time.

Nigel,

This tutorial will show you how to temporarily or always open a folder
in a separate window.

Thanks, that's a reasonable workaround, but I'd rather know if there is a
key combination.
