    Windows 10: Automatically open a folder window to the left or right side of a screen in...


    When I open a folder window in File Explorer, I want it to automatically snap to the left or right side of my screen. And when I open a second folder, I want it to snap to the opposite side of the screen. I don't want to have to drag a folder window to the left or right. And I don't want to use Windows Key + Left Arrow or Windows Key + Right Arrow to snap that folder window to the left or right side of my screen.


    Windows 10 places a folder window in some random location on my screen when I open it. It's very annoying because 90% of the time, I have have to manually snap it to the left or right with a keyboard shortcut. I have a laptop screen so screen management is important.


    I couldn't find a solution anywhere.

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
