Exit stage left

It’s an annoying bug in Windows 7. The folder tree to the left of the Explorer view (present in Windows Explorer, the Save dialog box and elsewhere) does not have a horizontal scroll bar. So if, like me, you have a well-organised and deep hierarchy of folders to be explored, you’ll often find that the deeper folders disappear. Sure, you can drag the vertical divider to expand the tree’s view, but that unnecessarily constrains the main view. The bug has been around for quite some time. I don’t hold out much hope of anyone fixing it any time soon.
