THE ASTERISK KEY REVEALS ALL

"Occasionally, I need to fully expand a folder (to display all folders and subfolders inside) in an Explorer window. The old Windows 3.x File Manager had a specific command for this task. What is the equivalent in Windows Explorer?"

While inside a two-paned Explorer window, the easiest way to expand a folder is to use the keyboard way. Select any folder and press the asterisk key (*) on your numeric keypad. The result is a fully expanded view of all folders and subfolders inside.
