Automatically open folders in treeview
I come offering a computer customization for the new year. It has been a while since I last post a computer customization article, eh? But who in their right mind would post a computer customization article when she does not own a computer
So. Our (read: me) motivation for this computer customization:
Ever since I reformatted the computer at work damn you IE! But that's another story , I have been plagued by the fact that I cannot make Windows Explorer to automatically open Shared Folders in tree view. Try as I might, but it all amounted to nothing. XP still refused to grant me my wish of seeing the folders in tree view. I was in despair. Everywhere I see, the world was in a muted tone of gray. The world no longer appealed to me, now that I could no longer make windows to automatically open folders in tree view.
But one day, god decided to grant me my wish. I saw a streak of hope. It was in the form of Google. Oh, the joy! My heart leaped. I could feel blood flowing in my veins again. I can now see sunshine and hear the birds chirping again.
This is the story of how I become alive again.

Ta-da! Now you no longer have to suffer from sleepless nights thinking about treeview again.
