I assume you are talking Gnome nautilus. If not, disregard the following.

One way is to press the shift key while clicking on a folder. This way
the new folder will open and the parent will close. Another method is to
 go into configuration editor(Applications->System Tools->Configuration
Editor) and browse to /app/nautilus/preferences and see if you have some
option related to spatial viewing (don't remember this correctly, but
google may help here). Changing options here will change the default
behavior.
