In WinExplorer, in the folder pane, how does one ensure that if a second
folder is clicked, the first folder and its sub-folders automatically
collaspe?

Thanks.

Interestingly, "simple folder view" seems to apply only when clicking
on folder *names*. If I use the little plus sign to expand a folder,
then click on a different folder (name or plus sign), the first one
remains expanded. I think that's a convenience for moving or copying
files to different places in the folder tree.
