Is there a way of keeping WinExplorer directory tree open?

Is there a way if keeping the directory tree open in Windows Explorer XP
Pro's left hand pane, so that the drive icons are always present, and never
closes?. Currently I have to click 'My Computer' to open them. No big deal I
guess but just one of those things that annoys after a while.

Thanks

Does that shortcut work in other Windows operating systems also (95, 98, Me,
2000), or just XP?
