How can I change the default folder tree width?

[Tom L]

I would like to have MC open with a wider folder tree width. Is that possible? I notice that the widths of columns in the explorer panel can be changed and saved by right-clicking on the column headings. Is there a place to do the same with the folder tree?

The width is saved and remembered when you exit the program, But it is per tab.

That worked perfectly! I was already using a a tab session anyway which I had incorporated into a batch file on my desktop (I use the batch file to open MC). So the minor edit of the tab session did the job.
