Hi,

Is there a way to disable the left navigation pane from expanding all folders in tree view when I right click on the start icon > explore?
I just want a basic layout of the major folders. Please advice. Thank you.

It does the same thing in WinXP. That's what explore is for. If you don't like that kind of view, use open instead of explore. Or, use Vista's equivalent of My Computer, whatever it's called. It has a fluffy looking panel on the left instead of a tree.

Thanks for the "GREAT" tip thumbsUp2.
well..maybe I should re-iterate. I'm want to disable in a way that it doesn't expand all the folders within the Drive itself. Just Expand up to the high level folders ie. program files, windows...
Can that be done?
