Windows 10: drop down option on folders in file explorer

Hi,I use both mac and windows, I find it easier to navigate on the mac os as I can browse multiple files at once by toggling them open. On windows I can only open a folder and not see the previous folders open at the same time. Is it possible to set windows up to do the same as the mac as I would much prefer to work on my windows machine.I have attached a screenshot of what I like about the mac.Thanks for any advice in advance.

Files remain in original folder after moving them to new folder in file explorer

Hi,

The issue that you’ve encountered regarding the File Explorer may be caused by some configuration or files mismatched. To sort out your concern, we suggest that you reset the folder settings from the
Folder Options. This will reboot the folder’s preferences to its default state and remove any possible software conflict. To do this, you may follow these steps:

• Click Start, type File Explorer, and press
  Enter.
• On the File Explorer window, click the View tab > Options > Change folder and search options > View.
• Under the Folder views section, click Reset Folders, and then select
  Yes to confirm.
• Once you’re done, click OK, and then check if the issue persists.

Note: This process will remove the list of files that you recently opened.


Let us know if the suggestion works for you.

 

Is there a way to collapse "redundant" folders in file explorer?

HI Dillyjb97,

The Navigation Pane Tree of your File Explorer is designed to work as how you have described it on your post. It doesn't have an option to expand the items in Folder 1/Folder 2/Folder
3 view. However, you may enable some options on your navigation pane to automatically show the folders within a folder without having to double click it. Just click the drop-down option on the Navigation Pane and tick the other three options as shown
in the photo below:





You may also set the single-click option to open an item in your File Explorer. Here's how:

1. Open File Explorer and navigate to View > Options > Change folder and search options.
   
2. Under the General > Click items as follows, tick the
   Single-click to open an item (point to select).
3. Click Apply, then OK.

If the above options won't work for you, then you may send this as a suggestion through our
Feedback Hub. This way, our software engineers will be able to look into your suggestion. Please follow the steps provided in Send
feedback to Microsoft with the Feedback Hub app to submit your suggestion.

Please let me know if you need further information.

Regards.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
