How can I keep the colour of the chosen folder in Win Explorer?

Hi guys,

I'm new here and I do hope I'm in the right forum ...

Can it be that I'm the only one with this problem in the whole wide world? Or am I just to daft to do a proper search? If the answers to these two questions are "no" and "yes": PLEASE give me a hint where I can find the answer!

But now to my "problem":
My problem is not really a problem but its a great deal of annoyance. When working with the Windows explorer, I first choose a folder and everything is fine:

)
But as soon as I click in the right part of the window (on a file, that is), the folder "loses" its colour:

)
It becomes a very light gray that's almost indistinguishable from the white background. AND I DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN! Sorry for shouting, but this goes so on my nerves, you can't imagine!

How can that be prevented? All help will be greatly appreciated!

Have a good Sunday everybody

P.S.: I'm using 'Classic Explorer' (alongside 'Classic Start Menu'); but even in this very cute program I found no solution ...

... nobody can help me? Thanks anyway for bearing with me!

P.S.: Maybe I can ask three more questions: When/If you use the Explorer, how works colour marking of folders at your side? Is it not the same as on my machine? And that doesn't annoy you?

What you are seeing is normal and I don't believe this can be changed. That is the way the Treeview control is as designed to work indicating it no longer has focus.
