Coming from the "Float Like a Butterfly" Department, Lockergnomie John Moore figured out how to kick open folders -- without resorting to clicking. So, you're dragging your files around (even though the song asked you to stop). You need to move them to another folder, but you're stuck mid-click and you can't let go. Fine... as long as you have the 'Folders' pane open in Explorer. Hover your object selection over an appropriate 'plus symbol' and within a few seconds, it'll magically expand. Actually, it's not magic -- it's a feature. Unfortunately, the right-hand pane will not update when you navigate in this manner. But, even with the Windows Explorer window in the background, this trick works well. Still hungry for hovering action? Bring that Explorer instance to the top by hovering your selected object(s) over the appropriate icon in your Taskbar for a few seconds. BLAMMO! Let go of letting go, man.
