In Windows Explorer, drag a file from the right pane over a folder in the left pane and hold it for a few seconds. It should expand it, as if you had hit the '+' box.
 
According to Apple THIS is what Spring Loaded really are (at the bottom):

Also, the ONLY similar thing that Windows have is that Spring Loaded wannabe here (at the bottom):

Last but not least, Apple has patents on Spring Loaded folders... I will try to locate the proof and will post it to Spring Loaded smarties around here :p

Get a life? If this isn't the pot calling the kettle black, I don't know what is. I think it's really amusing how outraged you are getting over a freakin' computer.

Are YOU a computer? Because I'm not :mad: because of a computer but because of someone who is ignorant enought not to know what a Spring Loaded Folder is and then he tries to convince all of us here that his version of S.L.F. exist in other OSes as well... :rolleyes:

The only thing that is amusing around here is your abundant levels of ingorance in OS X features and reading! :p

I EVEN provided you the link to the patent that Apple holds over S.L.F. and you still try to convince us that XP has S.L.F. :eek:

Yeah, right! ::ha::
