Highlight folders that are currently in use, as opposed to trying to locate which folder you are browsing(Windows 7)

            When sifting through the directory structure on the right-hand side of Windows explorer, the tree structure displayed on the left-hand side of the navigation remains unchanged. You can easily change this.

            In order to allow Windows to adjust the tree structure to highlight the currently open folder in Windows Explorer, go to ‘Organize | Folder and search options’. In the ‘Folder options’ dialog box, in the ‘General’ tab, check ‘Automatically expand to the current folder’ option, and confirm with ‘OK’.
NOTE: Above that option, you’ll see the ‘Show all folders’ option, once you activate it, Windows stops showing separate icons for ‘Favorites’, ‘Libraries’, ‘Home network groups’, ‘My Computer’ as well as ‘Network’ and instead only shows ‘Favorites’ and ‘Desktop’. Moreover, the operating system now also shows CD ROM, DVD and removable storage drives.
