Yes, this is driving me crazy as well. I've tried to find something, anything, in the setup and configuration screens to change this annoying process but haven't had any luck so far. I wouldn't even mind if the parent directory jumped to the TOP of the left pane. At least then the subdirectories would be visible below it. As it is now with the parent directory dropping to the bottom, if there are more than a couple of subs you have to scroll the left pane down to view them. Whatever directory you click the arrow on to expand shouldn't jump/move at all. All that should happen is the subdirectories should open below it. And, yes, I don't think this occurred in XP. XP didn't have those little arrows either. You just clicked on the directory icon and it would expand/drop down to expose the subdirectories. Other than this annoyance, I like Windows 7 so far. But since I use Windows Explorer a lot, it's a real pain in the a$$.
