Procedural syntax: "Click to expand" vs. "Expand by clicking"

[Yves Barbion <yves -dot- barbion -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Hello techwhirlers,

just wondering, which do you prefer (and why):

[A] Click the plus sign to expand the folder.

OR

[B] Expand the folder by clicking the plus sign.

Any references to style guides, maybe? I checked the Microsoft Style 
Guide for Technical Pubs (Procedural syntax) but did not really find an 
answer there.
