DL. Thx for the reply....I really appreciate it

Hi all Sometime ago, I saw a tweak posted and I tried it. The tweak did the following: In Windows Explorer, when you click on the C drive, in the left panel window..you would see all the folders present within that drive. The C tree still open, I click on the "d drive". The C tree closes and the folders within the D drive expand showing them all. I find this tweak interesting since I have 6 HD on my PC and 8 partitions. When I go through my drive, they don't just expand, they close as I go through them. I had to format my HD where my OS was and I can't find the tweak in my backup. I have been going through tweak forums for the past 2 weeks searching for that specific tweak, in vain. Could someone please post the .reg of that specific tweak? THX in advance B)
