Browse the web site so you are sitting in a folder.
Now change your sidebar from "navigator" to "shelf":

If I made the wrong assumption and you are instead using Web Quick Start, ignore everything I just said.

Also, thanks for the heads-up on AVM WCM. This changes my direction completely. I need to set my focus on WQS.
