Thanks Bruce. I know about the folder hooks, but I cannot find any
setting that can make it make certain folders show up collapsed.. You
have another hint? ( have searched the manual for "collapsed" but maybe
you can provide some other search criteria that I didn't think of? 

I know that RTFM is probably the likely answer, but I actually have
tried, it's just that I am blind to the sollution. Sorry about that. 

With humble regards,
Stig
