Hello Nalbe, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Turning on Auto Suggest in Windows Explorer may be what you are after.

Hope this helps,

Hi nalbe,

Click on Organize and mouse over Layout. In the pop-up that appears, click on Navigation pane to tick (select) it, as shown below.

Ah, I see.

You would need to turn on the navigation pane (left pane in screenshot below) to be able to navigate through the folder like that now instead.

You can also click on the "bread crumb" arrows in the address bar as below to navigate as well.




EDIT:
LOL, Dwarf beat me.

i don't know English so well, but how i can't explain better than screenshots =)
as you can see i specially disable navigation panel & customize this window maximally looking like windows XP.
you think the only version to use "bread crumb" arrows in the address bar?

By default, that is the only option in Windows 7.

However, you might see if you may like using the free programs Explorer++ instead of Windows Explorer, or Classic Shell for this.

found this option in ClassicShell 3.0 --> explorer settings - title bar - address bar history - extended path

That's great news Nalbe.
