Windows Explorer Folder View problem?

[John Doe]

This is about Windows 7, I do not know whether this is an issue in
Vista.

Seems like Microsoft has undervalued the folder view, maybe even
trying to get rid of it. Some time after Windows 98, I think
Microsoft improved folder view by allowing a single click on the
folder name to expand subfolders underneath. Now with Windows 7,
clicking on the default taskbar folder opens with the folder view
exposed. Apparently Microsoft again understands how useful folder
view is. But, unless I am mistaken, here we go again... Currently I
am looking at Windows 7, trying to find the setting to allow single
clicking on a folder name in the folder view to expand the folder.
Before, it was the same function as clicking on the small plus mark
on the left side of the folder name. In the main window of Windows
Explorer, you can enable hover to select and a single click to
expand the folder, but that IMO sucks when working with files.

Is there a setting in Windows 7 which allows a single click on a
folder name in folder view to expand the subfolders underneath that
folder in folder view? Or are we stuck once again having to click
the small plus sign to the left of the folder name?

Thanks.

You've posted a Windows 7 comment/question/whatever in a Vista newsgroup.

I prefer USENET, Malke, and my question was not only about Windows
7. Knowing whether the same issue exists in Vista might be useful.

Unfortunately MS has seen fit NOT to provide a Usenet group for Windows 7...

Looks like MS wants more control over "their" forums.

If the folks at Microsoft exercised control, Linux Lunatic, you
would not be here.

Not true. Are you new to Usenet?

I'm sure there's a way to make it work the way you want. MS said they
recognized their mistakes with dumbing don Vista and promised Win7
would be much more customizable.

Does anyone else remember that functionality in Windows XP?

Hey Bob Plus. Do you have any links that say that? Would be interesting to
see.
