Try this just to make sure you have the correct syntax.

WITH THISFORM.OleTreeView
    FOR lnCurNode = 0 TO .ListCount
        .NodeExpanded[ lnCurNode ] = .T.
    ENDFOR
ENDWITH

If this works, you may have to expand more than one node in order to get that section auto expanded. But first let me know if this expands the entire tree.
