I am XP and IE7 on my computer at home as well as at work. At home, if I
expand a Favorites folder, the previously expanded folder closes then the
selected folder expands. There is never more then one folder expanded. At
work, the previously expanded folder stays expanded. Several folders can be
expanded. It's no big deal really except the Favorites list can get quite
long sometimes. Is there a selection somewhere to change this action? All
ideas, suggestions, and comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, K.

Hi,

If you are allowed to tinker with your work machine, you can click on
"Tools||Internet Options||Advanced||Browsing" and make sure there is a
checkmark in the box next to "Close unused folders in History and
Favorites".

Good luck,

Donald Anadell

Are you running IE7 in WinXP at work? WYSIWYG.

Thanks Donald and PA. Appreciate your taking time to consider and reply to my
post. Now I am embarrased. I looked thru 'Advanced' several times and never
noticed that line. Apparently I have put off glasses a bit too long. And yes
PA, both systems are XP and IE7. I just updated to XP at home a few months
ago and went to IE7 on both units about the same time. Appreciate the help. K.
