[SOLVED] Stop a folder opening automatically.

Is there any way of stopping Nemo automatically expanding/opening folders when the mouse hovers over it. I have a folder with 27000+ files in and it is really annoying when I am adding 20 or so files to it and then it opens up the 27000. All i want to do is drag and drop, not for the folder to open....

Re: Virtualbox CD\DVD problem

Have tried that Cosmo. It doesn't work.
