First it is not the expanding of the folders that's the problem -it's the depth that I have to go to. Second, nobeefstu, there is a "Documents" directory shown in the tree already which opens up "My Documents" however, under Vista the My Pictures folder is no longer in here it is under a completely different path: C:\Users\yourname\Pictures\Photos\then whatever you have created. So what I would like to do is to put a shortcut in the tree view directly to the Photos directory.
