Had you actually read the thread you'd see that I have set things up as
"windows classic" so they ARE +/- for me and the point is still the same
since even with the arrows they still disappear whenever you work in the
details pane.

I don't see that I was "going on about effects" anywhere. The problem is
quite simple: when you have the folder view displayed in Explorer in Vista
and you work in another area of the window the icons that indicate whether a
folder has subfolders or not are erased which eliminates valuable visual
information for no reason I can figure.
