I have Windows XP Pro SP2 (all latest patches, updates, etc.), and
recently, for no reason I can understand nor can "fix", when I click on
the icon to open Windows Explorer (not 'IE', just explorer.exe), I get
only My documents and My Networks displayed in the left-hand window view
on the screen . no drives (C:; D:; etc.), no My Computer, etc. . nothing
else. In the address bar on this screen, I can at least type in "C:\",
hit Enter, and in the left-hand window, I THEN get the 'full-meal-deal"
display like I am used to seeing. However, on exit from this, it does
not "stick" or view retained, so that I have to do this each time.
Suggestions?
My only work-around to-date has been to put a short-cut 'My Computer'
icon onto my Quick Launch bar where I used to have my 'Windows Explorer'
short-cut icon (I took if off myself after about listed experiences).
