How do I expand child folders in the main screen?

I have child folders that I would like to know how to expand so that a screen shot of all items in the parent folder could be taken. How do I expand a child folder to open on the same screen?

Hello rsmck,

A hierarchy view of folders is already provided in the Navigation Pane. Are you seeing it?

Not yet

I can't read your screen shot very well. Are you under library?

Okay, after trying your screen shot possibility, I find that maybe I need to be more detailed. I have the main folder named 4075 inside that I have four other subfolders how do I expand them in the same screen since there is not a +- by it?

Can you post a screenshot? I don't understand what you are trying to do.

It don't make any sense at all, Do you mean to make the icons bigger or the folder capacity?

Sorry,

Due to the nature of our business I can't do a screen shot but here is an example

- 4377
topic a folder(this doesn't not have an option in the same screen to expand)
topic b folder
+topic c folder(this does have a option to expand)
I wanted to know if there was a way to expand the folder that doesn't have the +- option by it, while in the same screen instead of clicking on it and it not show all the other folders as well:

-4377
topic a folder (this is what I want to see on one screen)
ab folder
abc folder
abcd folder
topic b folder
ba folder
bad folder
+topic c folder(this does have a option to expand)

I guess I'm still a little confused. Are you talking about the navigation pane or the main window?
