Stop Windows Explorer from expanding folders tree

Hi.
How to stop Windows Explorer from expanding folders tree when exploring folders?
I'd prefer a .reg/.cmd file.
Thanks!

When searching for information keep in mind that the file manager was renamed to File Explorer in Win8. This pages gives some good information even though it stops with Win8 although the naming convention continues in Win10.
File Explorer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Historically the application was called File Manager in Win3.11 and earlier and changed to Windows Explorer in Win95 along with changing the name of directory to Folders. An important change with Win95 was the LFN/Long File Name convention which also was involved in furthering the change from needing a separate install of DOS/Disk Operating System. Computing has continued changing ever since.

Mine is already unchecked from long ago and it still expands the tree.

Maybe there is a hidden entry for all users in HKLM?

reg add "HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced" /v "NavPaneExpandToCurrentFolder" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
reg add "HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced" /v "NavPaneExpandToCurrentFolder" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
taskkill /im explorer.exe /f & explorer.exe

reg add "HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced" /v "NavPaneExpandToCurrentFolder" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
reg add "HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced" /v "NavPaneExpandToCurrentFolder" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
taskkill /im explorer.exe /f & explorer.exe

I just tried that and still doesn't work.
I like the way Windows 7 was in this matter.
