If I understand you correctly (and I may not), this may be what you want

In Windows Explorer
Tools
Folder Options
General
Use Windows Classic folders

This opens Explorer with the folder structure in the left hand panel.

I am used to doing this, because when I set it to "Show common tasks in
folders" , my wife doesn't like it so I have to change it back. :-)

Thanks for all 3-responses. It seems that all three work.
I prefer seeing my directory (folder) structure too.
