Windows 10: How to set "This PC" in the navigation pane to default to collapsed?

I'm really annoyed at This PC in the navigation pane starting out expanded showing drives and the same folders that are already in my quick access. So I'd like it to just start off completely collapsed, and preferably also keep it collapsed even as I move through the folders.Is there a way to do this?

:)

 

in Windows Explorer navigation pane, set default to collapse folders


it is really annoying to have to scroll way up in navigation pane to top (quick access items). I wish we could set some or all the items that are expanded to be collapsed when opening an explorer window.

 

How do I keep the OneDrive folder on the navigation pane to be collapsed by default?

Unlike Dropbox, for example, my OneDrive folder is always open in the navigation pane in Win 10, showing all its sub-folders. How do I keep it collapsed when I open explorer? The options in View>Navigation Pane don't work. Or if I select "Collapse" on
right click, it won't save that as a default.

 

Open / Save as dialog boxes - choose whether to expand or collapse as default

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you would like to have a collapsed view of the items on the navigation pane of the File Explorer while saving a file. To do this, I would suggest you to try the steps listed below and see if it works.

• Open File Explorer
  and click on the View tab.
  
• Click on the drop down next to
  Navigation Pane and uncheck Show all folders.
  
• Exit File Explorer
  and try saving a file now.
  

Regards,
