Hi all,

In Windows XP, in Windows Explorer, when I select a folder
in the folder pane on the left, that folder expands (as if
I clicked + there). I wish to disable this. It sounded
like a good new feature initially, but lately has only
been an irritation.

From Windows Explorer, select menu Tools | Folder Options... Select View tab
and uncheck 'Display simple folder view in Explorer's Folders list' option.
Click OK.

HTH.
