A "\" change the result

[Laura]

Hi

I noticed that when I double-click a folder in Everything, Windows Explorer opens, but the folder menu on the left isn't expanded, and Desktop is selected.
I looked in the Windows Explorer address bar and saw that the address is, for example:

G:\- MINISERIES\2001 - Band of Brothers

If I add a \ at the end, so:

G:\- MINISERIES\2001 - Band of Brothers\

and press Enter, I noticed that the folders are expanded correctly. Is this a bug in Everything, or Win, and would it be possible to fix it?

It is a Windows setting (that doesn't seem to work here on Win11):

• In File Explorer, click on the 3 dots in the toolbar
• Click Options
• Select the View tab
• Browse to Navigation Pane => Expand to Open Folder

Workaround is to let Everything do the job:

To show the foledr also in the folder-tree in the navigation pane on the left:

• In Everything, go to Menu => Tools => Options => General => Context Menu
• Click on Open (Folders)
• In the Command field, change $exec("%1") to:

  Code: Select all

  $exec(explorer.exe /EXPAND, "%1")

• Click OK

Thanks. The "expand to open folder" option is already enabled in my Italian Win 25h2.

I applied the change you mentioned, but to no avail.

On the right, I still see the Desktop selected. Perhaps it's a bug in the Italian Win 25h2

The folder is expanded for me on Windows 11 25H2. (Using the default settings with Explorer -> Options -> View -> Expand to open folder checked)

Using NotNulls expand command from above, please try applying it to Open Path:

• In Everything, From the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Context Menu tab on the left.
• Select Open Path
• Set Command to:
  

  Code: Select all

  $exec(explorer.exe /EXPAND,/SELECT,"%1")
  

• Click OK.

Expand to open folder was checked, as was the option under Show this PC, which gave me the problem I mentioned at the beginning.
Now, even though it's a paradox, I've tried deselecting both, and now, strangely, sometimes when I double-click a folder in Everything, Windows Explorer correctly expands the directories in the tree on the left, while other times it only selects the HD containing the folder I clicked.
The same result whit your string

At this point, I think it's clear that the problem is with Win 25h2, not Everything, sorry for your time
