Windows 7 Windows Explorer jumpy tree view

Windows 7 Windows Explorer jumpy tree view

Is there any way to get Windows Explorer tree view in Windows 7 to stop jumping? I think they really messed up this design. Click a node to expand a deeper level and it instantly scrolls the tree vertically to a new location. This is not a good feature since my eye completely loses the node it was focused on and I have to hunt for where I was. I want the tree view to remain fixed where it is unless I scroll it myself.

I turned off "Automatically expand to current folder" in folder options. This is good enough for now.

I'll second xplorer2. I purchased the license for it and use it more frequently than Explorer (I use both for this and that). And shell integration in Windows 7 is supported regardless of your bitness, though there is a "trick". If you right-click and don't see the menu items you're looking for, look for the Explorer item and expand that. That's where the rest of the shell extensions are hiding.
