Sorry, I don't know what the feature is called
The official name is "disclosure triangle".

like the triangles used in Finder windows to expand folders. I
especially don't like logging into an Appletalk server, opening a
folder, and seeing a billion different folders expanded.
Option-click on the triangle at the highest level and it will
collapse the view of that folder and all of the enclosed folders.
Is there a way to get the Finder to automatically collapse these when
the window is closed (would a folder action work), or someone logs in
via file sharing?
This Folder Action will close it when you open the window.
on opening folder this_folder
tell application "Finder"
activate
set completely expanded of every folder of this_folder to false
end tell
end opening folder
Or a way to turn them off completely, perhaps?
There is no way that I know of to turn them off. They are and
integral part of the file navigation mechanism of the Finder when in
list view.
