I don't know of a way to get windows explorer to do that but you can use third party software to get column view with the contents of each folder displayed in a new column.
I use several explorer alternatives - one of those is Ultra Explorer Portable and it can be configured to do what you are asking for.
yargd -
In my Start, on the right side, are additional folder titles (music, video, documents, downloads etc.) and are configured to display as a menu (indicated by the small triangle to the right of the name). In my system, e.g., I clik :
Start > Music > Jazz > Artist > Album ... (after 'Music' all the various sub-folders display and keeps cascading until no more folders are present in the path.
Enabling navigation pane in explorer windows will also show subfolders.
I just wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU for your suggestion of Ultra Explorer It is absolutely amazing software! I can't even tell you how helpful it is to have a cascading view of folders all in ONE window after 35 years of opening 5-7 subfolders I'd never seen a cascading view in one window until I saw a screenshot of a mac and then found this thread.
I just wish there was a regular as well as the portable version. Is there a way to install Ultra Explorer so it automatically runs when I start windows?
Thanks again for the brilliant suggestion
Would this be it? The .exe file is the bottom one.

Or... you can put a shortcut to the portable version in your startup folder?
