Expand Sub Directories

In XP you could click on a directory in explorer and it would instantly
expand the sub directories. Is there a setting in Vista that will cause
this?

Thanks

Re: Expand Sub Directories

Hello Greg,

The following paragraph is copied from the Help and Support topic I have
linked to below.

Windows Explorer had a folder tree that you could use to navigate to any
location on your computer. It's now called the Folders list, and is
available in the Navigation pane of every folder. To open the Folders list,
click Folders at the bottom of the Navigation pane, and then click the
folder you want. To close the Folders list, click Folders again.

I hope this information answers your question.

Not really. In XP when you selected a folder, it would automatically expand
the sub folders as well as show them on the right. Vista doesn't expand the
sub-folders once you select the main folder.
