Windows 10: Making folders collapsed by default?

I want to make it possible that the items on the left pane that are inthe folders "This PC", "Quick Access," Onedrive, etc. can be collapsed by defaultwhile saving a file. Now they are expanded by 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,

 

Folder Pane collapsing in Windows Mail

Hi, I have transferred all my emails from windows live to Microsoft Mail and now have to sort into folders.

The Folder Pane keeps collapsing which makes it longer to move emails over.

Question: is there a way of stopping the folder pane from collapsing so that it is displayed all the time?

 

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

When my dialog boxes for file saving or opening come up -- how can I choose to have the items in the left pane (the folders in "Quick Access," Onedrive, "This PC", etc.) be COLLAPSED by default, rather than EXPANDED by default?

The list, when expanded is so long that I have to scroll through lots to find the location I really want.
