How can I always have subfolders automatically expand in the left pane of Windows Explorer (and always point to the current folder selected in the right side pane of Windows Explorer)?
My computer is running Windows 7 Pro, and another computer is running Windows10 Pro.
Under computer, is several drives: C, D, L
When I click on a drive, like C for example, the right pane in windows explorer displays subfolders of drive C. If I also want to see the subfolders in the left pane, I have to double-click drive C. In Windows XP, this was a one step process (where the left pane automatically navigated to the location of a folder selected in the right panel - and vice versa).
Is there anyway I can change a setting in Windows 7 and Windows 10 that will:
Display the subfolders in the left pane and the right pane. Then, when I click on any subfolder in the right pane, the left pane would automatically jump to the subfolder I selected (and vice versa).
In other words, any folder I click in the right pane, I want the left pane to automatically go to that folder as well.
I hope this makes sense.

Too bad it stays at the bottom and doesn't scroll up towards the middle or top. Irritating...
