Set the Navigation Pane Tree to Automatically Expand in Windows 7

00_navigation_tree_pane

In Windows 7, when you double-click or press Enter on folders in the right pane of Windows Explorer to open them, the folder tree in the left pane (the navigation pane) does not automatically expand to show where you are.

By default, the navigation pane stays at the top level if you use the right pane to navigate through folders. You have to manually expand the navigation pane tree. Prior versions of Windows, including Vista and XP, automatically expanded the folder tree to show the location of the folder opened in the right pane.

You can change this behavior in Windows 7, it’s just turned off by default. To change this option, open Windows Explorer and select Folder and search options from the Organize menu.
