Fix folder scrolling problem in navigation pane of Explorer

How to fix Windows 7 Explorer's annoying navigation-pane folder scrolling behavior using Classic Shell's Fix folder scrolling option.

Since my first steps with Win7 I hate the behavior of Explorer to scroll down the current expanded folder in the navigation pane. Today I found a solution in this thread:

Bug: Windows Explorer expands folders inappropriately, jumping the folder you expand to the bottom of the navigation pane

  1. Download and install Classic Shell
  2. Activate the classic explorer bar and choose options
  3. Verify that Fix folder scrolling is checked
  4. Verify fixed behavior
  5. If necessary uninstall Classic Shell – the fix is persisted
