    how to stop navigation pane expanding folders on hover


    In Windows 10. I keep copying files into the wrong folders due to the system expanding a folder at the instant I release a file copy into a folder in the navigation pane. This is NOT the 'Expand to current fodler' problem. This is when I have grabbed a file to move or copy it with a right-click and then try to target a folder in the navigation pane.Please help, I am 70 and this is happening almost every time I try to use that type of move or copy.Happy TrailsSteve

    :)
