Windows Explorer: How to get it to expand like I want?

When in Windows Explorer, I expand a folders branch using the + sign
next to the folders name in the Folders pane. Then I do this to
another folders branch using the same technique. I want them both to
remain expanded, but when I click on one of the folders in the branch,
the other branch closes. I want them both to remain open while I
inspect the contents of one of the branch's folders.

Is there a way to make it do what I want?

TIA

Question is what caused this to change? What you ask for is normal
behavior. Perhaps you can System Restore to time before it broke?
