Left pane behavior of Windows Explorer in Windows 7

Left pane behavior of Windows Explorer in Windows 7

On Windows 7, when I use Windows Explorer (the "hard disk browser", not the website browser), I am constantly annoyed by a particular detail. I navigate to a directory in the left pane's tree view. When I select it, the right pane shows its contents. If I then double click on a subdirectory in the right pane, the tree view in the left pane stays where it is.

"This functionality is still there but turned off by default. You can easily turn it on again:

Open the ""Folder Options"" from the control panel
Select the ""General"" tab
Check ""Automatically expand to current folder"" underneath ""Navigation pane""
Click ""OK"" and you are done"
