In XP I was used to navigating folders in Windows Explorer with the
down-arrow or up-arrow keys. When in the left pane (folder pane),
pressing down-arrow to get to the next folder would refresh the right
pane (file pane). I.e., the arrow keys in the left pane were equivalent
to single-clicking. I see that in Vista this doesn't work, at least by
default. I have to navigate via the arrow key and then press Enter to
refresh the right pane.

Is there a configuration option to turn this on? Thanks.
 
This was simply eliminated? You could do this in *all* earlier versions
of Windows. Man, what a drag. I wonder what their rationale was?
Anyway, thanks for your response; I've been wondering about that for a
while.
