Can WindowsXP be trained to open all Windows Explorer views with the
Folders option already selected? I've gotten rid of Folder Tasks by
selecting "Use Windows Classic Folders," but the views still do not
contain the folder tree on the left and the selected folder's contents
(files and subfolders) on the right. I'm tired of having to click on
the Folders icon or use View / Explorer Bar / Folders in the menu every
time I open the file manager

This has been driving me crazy. Any help will be much appreciated.
