    File Explorer view subfolder contents without clicking on every subfolder?


    In file explorer we have several folders and subfolders set up. Some never get populated while others do. Is there a way when starting at the first folder to see contents of subfolders without having to click all of them and determine which are populated and which are empty?


    Can we click on original and just see contents of all subfolders?


    Folder: CLIENT NAME
    Subfolder1: Correspondence

    Subfolder 2: Pre1990

    Subfolder 2a: Post 1990

    Subfolder1A: Reports

    Subfolder 2A: CNR

    Subfolder 2Aa: Examinations OUT

    Subfolder 2Ab: Examinations In

    :)

    Open the main folder in Windows Explorer, type kind:video in search field. This searches the folder and all its subfolders for any video file, listing them all.

    Archive Manager, can't extract without creating subfolder

    I am trying to extract an archive which contains an archive split into multiple files and for that I need Archive Manager to extract the first archive not in any subfolders.

    I read on the internet that if there is more than one file in the archive Archive Manager will automatically create a subfolder when extracting, now I think that there should certainly be an option for that too but there should not be only this default option available because now I can't extract a few archives without automatically creating subfolders.

    I do not want subfolders because then the second archive won't be able to extract contents because the second archive is split into more files (which depend on each other) and now all these files are in its own subfolder instead of the same folder.

    I used to this with ease with 7-Zip and Winrar on Windows but in Archive Manager there is no such a choice where you choose yourself whether you want it extracted to subfolder or not in a subfolder.
