Another grumble. My primary computer is a Win7 box. Yes I know it's old, but it's what I've got. I do a lot of reading procurement for my mother, who is legally blind. I download audio books from several sources, but mostly the library for the blind, and our local public library.

In the process of copying these files to usb chips for her reader (provided by the WTBBL), I end up moving files around from archives on my hard drive (she likes to re-read books, sometimes frequently.)

When I do this, I'm constantly finding that Windows explorer has closed all of the parts of the file tree that I recently opened, and will re-use, forcing me to re-open the tree again. I haven't found any way to force Win7 to change this behavior.

1. Am I overlooking something that actually *will* change the behavior to leave the folders open?

2. Anyone got a favorite replacement for windows explorer that would do this instead?
