Is there a program that you can set the folders you need to open and
click on one button it opens all in one mouse-click? It should have
the ability to save mutlple sets. I don't want to save a lot of
shortcuts and open by clicking these shortcuts.

Thanks for the help,

I haven't tried it myself, but I thinking a batch file with multiple
entries for the Windows Explorer command line (That's for WINDOWS
Explorer, NOT the Internet Explorer web browser - Unfortunately two
different applications that have confusingly similar names). Perhaps
someone in the win2000.cmdprompt.admin forum/newsgroup or the
win3x_wfw_dos forum/newsgroup (both on this server) would be able to
offer more detailed assistance.

Meanwhile you could read a list of Explorer command line switches in MS

Explorer.exe Command-Line Options for Windows XP.

Use a batch file. You can also close groups of files with a batch file too,
using "taskkill" command file. Write the batch, test it, give it an icon,
and run it from windows desktop.
