Windows Vista Explorer Keyboard Shortcuts
Theoretically, the following should work as well, but I don't have Vista to verify their functions. Perhaps someone could comment?
- RIGHT ARROW - Expands the current selection if it is not expanded, otherwise goes to the first subfolder
- LEFT ARROW - Collapses the current selection if it is expanded, otherwise goes to the parent folder
Numeric keypad functions for *, +, and - should be the same in Vista as Windows XP.
