EXPLANATION:
The folder view list
view in Windows Explorer is a list of items in a folder of the tree view. These
two different areas are in separate windows panes. The left window pane has the
tree view and the right window pane has the folder view list view. You move
between these two panes with shift f6 and f6. If you are in the tree view you
can press f6 to go to the folder view list view. If you are in the folder view
list view you can press shift f6 to go to the tree view. When a folder in the
tree view has focus, pressing enter will generate a list of the folders’ items
in the list view. For example, if focus was on the computer folder of the tree
view, the items in that folder would not be listed in the folder view list view
until you pressed enter.
