When looking at the folders tree view in Windows Explorer, is there a way to expand a whole directory tree? Clicking on the [+] normally just expands to one subdirectory level. I remember back in the days of Windows 3.1, you could press + to expand one level and * to expand all the way down to see the complete tree structure. This feature does not seem to be available any more (so much for progress.) Is there a way to get it back? I ask because I have some deeply nested directory structures and not enough hours in the day to go clicking successive subdirectories to find the one I want. I know I can use the Search feature and include subfolders, but that's not the same.

This feature does not seem to be available any more There must be something wrong on your end. The *, -, & + keys on the keypad still function just like you described on my machine. I am running XP SP3. i_Xp/VistaUser

Thanks! I'm glad to know I was wrong. I was pressing the normal * key instead of the one on the numeric keypad!
