    How can I force Explorer to show a folder path in compact format?


    Once again, MS has decided that obese is best.In order to show the full path of a folder, the folder has to be opened to a huge width, wider than the width of my monitor. If I don't increase the width, I cannot see the drive letter. If I hold the mouse over the path, the compact path is visible for a moment until I move away. I have multiple generations of files on various drives and folders. which mustn't be confused. But MS is determined to confuse me.How can I force Explorer NEVER to show the expanded format, ALWAYS to show the compact path?Thank you

    :)
