Question about 'Learn to Explore with Folders'

"Hold Shift while clicking on the close button (X) to close all open folders." - except it doesn't. It only closes the chosen folder, its parent folder, its "grandparent" folder, etc. An open "sibling" or "cousin" folder won't be closed by this trick. Now I would *like* to be able to actually close ALL folders with a single shift-click or something equivalent, but I've not been able to find a method to do so. Does anyone know of any trick or add-on utilility that will allow this?

try google, Close all folders.



There's nothing to learn from someone who already agrees with you. _________________________________________________________
