I'm sure this has been answered a million times around the web, but I dont know quite what question to ask.

Basically before windows 7 if I opened a folder in the right hand pane when using windows explorer the corresponding folder would be expanded in the treeview on the left.

This is no longer happening. Can I switch it on on Windows 7.

  • Right click an empty space in the left panel and check [x] Expand to current folder (Thank you, surfasb):

    Right click

Or...

  • Check [x] Automatically expand to current folder in Folder Options > General > Navigation pane:

    Organize

    Folder Options

Don't sweat it. It's never a bad idea to ask a simple question. Someone might have the same question and end up here. It's handy. :) – iglvzx Nov 30 '11 at 19:36

You can also right click an empty area in the TreeView and get the option there. – surfasb Dec 1 '11 at 2:58
