Computer menu -> Desktop Preferences - File Management
Behaviour tab
Tick "Always open in browser window"

When the browser pens, change the panel at the left to "Tree" by 
clicking on the drop-down at the top of the panbel (usually 
"Information") by default.

Alternatively if you don't always want to do it this way, right click 
and choose "Browse Folder". Also - you can middle click to open a new 
(non-browser) window and close the previous one an the same time.
