The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 95
- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS
========
- When you run Windows Explorer, you see a plus sign (+) before each folder or
tree.
- When you run File Manager, you do not see the plus or minus signs (+ or -)
before each folder or directory.
CAUSE
=====
- In Windows Explorer, the plus sign appears before network directories and
floppy disk drives for performance reasons. Ghosted connections are used for
network directories; therefore, the plus sign appears until the directory is
accessed. Floppy drives display a plus sign because it is time consuming to
poll floppy drives until you want to access them.
- In Windows 3.x and Windows for Workgroups 3.x, the plus and minus signs are
enabled by default for File Manager. In Windows 95, they are disabled by
default.
RESOLUTION
==========
- If you click the plus sign, it disappears if there are no subdirectories. If
there are subdirectories, clicking the plus sign makes the subdirectories
visible.
- On the Tree menu in File Manager, click Indicate Expandable Branches to view
the plus and minus signs in File Manager.
