Why doesn't Explorer navigation pane arrow keystroke show contents?

If you're stuck on Windows 3.1, you should call Explorer
"File Manager".

Here's a thread on the subject...

I agree with the last comment...

"It is so incredibly pathetic that you need to install a
third-party tool to restore a needed and totally useful
functionality..."

OK, apologies. I do use Classic Shell, been using it so long I had
forgotten that one can modify Explorer's actions too. Without it, it as you
say...arrow keys select folders but contents don't show until one presses
ENTER. Not hard to do but still a ridiculous implementation by MS.
Especially considering the fact that Win8 is about 16X the size of WinXP.
