Windows 7 Explorer tree view expand

Wednesday 23 October 2019

When type in the path in address bar (1), or navigate through main panel (3) to the sub-folder, tree view panel (2) won't expand to same sub-folder.

This feature was in Windows XP. Is there any way to enable this feature in Windows 7 Explorer as well?

Answer

Go to the Tools menu and then Folder Options.

(I know you do, but in case others don't have the menu, just press Alt)

Then simply click on Automatically expand to current folder.
