Thanks, that's at least a small step in the right direction. It still
doesn't identify which other folders actually have subfolders that aren't
expanded in the tree yet but it does give an additional visual clue and that
pane needs all the help it can get.
Your welcome Bob.

I just wish I knew a way to stop the arrows from fading out. I looked at all the fade options in the Visual Effects Options, but no luck in there or in Folder Options.
