Windows Explorer Expand All Folders
A simple option in Windows Explorer's preferences fixes one of its biggest annoyances, automatically expanding the left sidebar as you navigate through your computer's folders.
The left pane of Windows Explorer shows the drives and folders in a layout called a tree. There is a + symbol to the left of each. Clicking on it shows all the folders stored in that drive.
Perhaps this is an obvious tip, but once I discovered it, I realized how useful it can be. In Windows 7, by default, Explorer's sidebar stays the same unless you click around in it. That is, if you use the right pane to navigate through folders, as most of us do, the left sidebar doesn't change. With a simple checkbox, though, you can have the left sidebar focus on your current folder in the tree as you click around the right pane. To enable this feature:
- Open up Explorer and go to Organize > Folder and Search Options.
- On the General tab, look under 'Navigation Pane' and check 'Automatically expand to current folder'.
The left pane of Windows Explorer shows the drives and folders in a layout called a tree. There is a + symbol to the left of each. Clicking on it shows all the folders stored in that drive. Show the current folder / subfolders in Windows Explorer. In Windows 7, Windows 8 / 8.1, and Windows 10, Explorer no longer shows the current folder structure and subfolders: that's in part due to the enhanced address bar, which combines the functionality of breadcrumbs and dropdown menus. But you can easily restore that old functionality as well!

This is especially useful considering Windows 7's Explorer doesn't have a 'one folder up' button. You could always click on the folder's name in Explorer's address bar, too, but this can save you a few clicks if you're constantly jumping around nearby folders. Again, it certainly isn't a new tip, but we've never featured it before, and having just discovered it, I thought it was a pretty cool feature.
