I'm sure there's a checkbox someone I need to change but I can't figure this one out.

I have two machines running WIn7 at work. One of them works how I want it to and the other doesn't.

When I open up Windows Explorer, navigate down to Libraries, Documents, and click on My Documents, one machines shows normally how XP did where on the right side it shows me my sub folders and folders that reside in the root of My Documents.

On the other machine, when I select My Documents, the right side show me every file from every sub folder in my entire My Documents directory tree. It doesn't show me the folder names at all, just all the files. This is not what I want it to do.

Anyone know of a way to make it not do this?

Thanks.

Try changing the view. That is the small icon, 3rd from right - looks like little dashes, and it has a tiny down arrow. That opens the View menu. Or, tap the ALT key to make the Menu Bar appear, and go to View and play with the settings and layout.
