A small thing but.... when I open Windows Explorer, I get the full window
without frame. I must then click "folder" up top to get the left frame
with the folder tree. How can I set it so Windows Explorer opens with the
frame and the folder tree on the left?

Open up your Windows Explorer,
then click on the folder button so that the folders directory tree can be
seen on the left.

Then click on Tools -> Folder Options
Then click on the Views tab
and then click on the Apply to all folders button

Then click OK.

This will create a shortcut to C: with the Folders Pane showing.
Right click the Desktop | New | Shortcut |
Type or copy and paste this in the box:

%windir%\EXPLORER.EXE /e,c:

Next | Finish

Or change the Target of your existing shortcut to
%windir%\EXPLORER.EXE /e,c:
-----

You can also assign a shortcut key to that shortcut.

Right click the shortcut | Properties | Shortcut tab |
[[With the cursor in the Shortcut key box, select the keyboard key you
want to use in combination with CTRL+ALT. Shortcut keys automatically start
with CTRL+ALT. The Shortcut key box will display None until you select the
key and then the box will display Ctrl+Alt+the key you selected. You cannot
use the ESC, ENTER, TAB, SPACEBAR, PRINT SCREEN, SHIFT, or BACKSPACE keys.

Note
Once you assign a shortcut key combination for a specific program, you will
not be able to use that key combination with other programs.]]

I use Ctrl + Alt + E.
