FULLY EXPAND FOLDERS IN EXPLORER

You know, I suppose, that you can individually click on those plus signs next to the names of folders in the left pane of Windows Explorer in order to expand the list of subfolders? What if you want to fully expand all the subfolders, and all the subfolders underneath the first level of subfolders, and the subfolders under the second level of subfolders, etc.? Well, you could do an awful lot of clicking on plus signs, or you could do it with just a single click on the topmost folder you want to expand, followed by typing the asterisk key that is on your numeric keypad. (If you don't have a numeric keypad, then sorry, you can't do this.)
