Controlling Windows Explorer re expanded folders

I have wasted far too much time trying to figure this out on my own, so I thought I'd simple ask !

I have two Win 7 machines both 64 bit Home Premium, Sp1

When create a shorcut to a folder ( eg: SongDB), windows explorer launches exactly as I expect it to , with the SongDB folder expanded in the left pane. As I drill down in the right pane to find my file, the left pane properlty shows me the nested folder path, Perfect.

On my other Win 7 machine, when I do the same thing, it behaves differentely, The left pane goes to the the top of the drive, and stays there. As I drill down on the right pane, I have no idea what folder I am in.

I tired to find the setting to fix this - It should not have to be this hard, but I gave up after 30 minutes of total frustration. It hsould have taken a few seconds.

So I give up - where is the setting??

After some googling, it irnoicall brought me back to this forum, so I found the trick ( re checkboxes in bottom of General Tab of Folder options)
