Windows 10: Is there a way to make explorer assign a number to all files inside a folder without...

Like a column that enumerates each file in the details view. I've seen other file explorers with this feature but I would rather find a way to configure explorer to do this. I hope I make myself clear, I'm not a native speaker.

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.
