Running SBS 2000 with Terminal Services. After the last
auto install Critical Update Windows Explorer will not
allow me to few folders on the left side explorer bar. I
can view other things like search, favorites, history,
etc, but not folders. Any suggestions for a fix?
 
Hi Rob,

The experts in the microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs may have a better answer.
That being said...

For Windows 2000 users who have installed Internet Explorer 5.5 or Internet Explorer
6, reinstalling Internet Explorer oftentimes solves this problem. For more
information, see the following Microsoft Knowledge Base Article that includes the
following...

"SYMPTOMS
In addition, the Folder view pane in Windows Explorer may be blank or gray
instead of having the folder tree view."

Explorer 5_5 or Internet Explorer 6 on Windows 2000

Or, if you want to try a registry fix published at the "Tech Support Guy Bulletin
Board", see the following Web Page. Note, after the regedit you may need to log off
and then log back on.
