Windows – make Windows Explorer Treeview show folders in Windows 7

windows 7windows-explorer

I'm sure this has been answered a million times around the web, but I dont know quite what question to ask.

Basically before windows 7 if I opened a folder in the right hand pane when using windows explorer the corresponding folder would be expanded in the treeview on the left.

This is no longer happening. Can I switch it on on Windows 7.
