    How to get file explorer to expand to current folder in my documents?


    "Expand to current folder" works great with some folders. But I have a bunch of folders I want to have expanded in one instance of file explorer while I'm working, so I've made shortcuts to them and pinned them to Quick Access. When they're certain folders in my documents, accessing them through a shortcut or Quick Access won't automatically expand to them.

    I would like the folders to expand under This PC > Local Disk (CHow to get file explorer to expand to current folder in my documents? :) > Users ... and not Kyle Delaney > Documents ... if at all possible.

    :)

    File open or insert window shows collapsed folders only

    Hi Tim,

    Let's check if activating the Expand to current folder option will make a difference. Follow these steps:

    1. Open the file explorer folder.

    2. Right click any open area on the left portion of the window.

    3. Check the Expand to current folder option.

    Let us know how it goes.

    • Toshiba driver update for Toshiba Hotkey Driver - Error 0x800f0203

    I tried your Method 1 to fix it which said changes have been made to my computer & to try & update again which failed.. again & the same message above came up again. My laptop is secure as I run Norton 360, so what should I do next to try & fix this problem?
    My laptop is a Toshiba satellite L650.

    Thank you
