Webview - Harddrive Space Pie

I have always used 'Webview' as part of my folder options
in Win2000.

When in 'My Computer' To the Left, If I clicked on any of
my hard drives I would get the Space Used/Availible Pie.

A few months back I reinstalled Win2000 and have once
again enabled Webview... however I am no longer seein
the 'info' along the left side in 'My Computer' Every
other folder it shows up fine.

Am I missing something ? I have tried going to classic
view and then back to webview. It makes no difference.
That seems to be the only folder it does not work in. And
ironically it's the only one I really want it to work in.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
 
Hi Angel,

Perhaps you have a corrupt C:\WINNT\Web\folder.htt (folder.htt is the template file
used for Web View, if a folder is not customized). You can rebuild all Web View
files by doing this:

- Quit all programs that are running.
- Click Start, and then click Run.
- Type the following command, and then click OK:

regsvr32 webvw.dll

When you receive the "DllRegisterServer in webvw.dll succeeded." message, click OK.

Running regsvr32 webvw.dll will overwrite the System files in the following folders,
so if you've customized them, make backup copies:

C:\Program Files\desktop.ini AND folder.htt
C:\WINNT\desktop.ini AND folder.htt
C:\WINNT\System32\desktop.ini AND folder.htt
C:\WINNT\Web\*.* (all files/folders)

For more information about using the Regsvr32 tool (Regsvr32.exe), see the following
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article:

KB249873 - Explanation of Regsvr32 Usage and Error Messages
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=249873

Note: C:\WINNT\Web is a System Folder and the files within are hidden. If you can
not see them change your Explorer view options as follows:

Control Panel > Folder Options > View [tab]:

Select: "Show hidden files and folders"
Uncheck: "Hide file extensions for known file types"
Uncheck: "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)"
