Hello! Using Windows ME.

Not sure if I changed a setting and/or did something, as each time I try to open Windows Explorer, normally, it won`t open, showing the tree structure in the left column and the files in right-cloumn, like it used to.

I`ve tried opening Windows Explorer, 3 different ways: 1) Start>programs>Accessories>Windows Explorer 2)right-clicking the Start-button and choose Explore 3) clicking My Computer icon on desktop.

In all 3 cases either get My Computer window or Start Menu folder window or My Documents folder window. In the left column, it is greyed out. If I click on the Folders button, just above the address line, all it does is expand the existing window (removes the left greyed out column). Whereas, used to open the tree structure in the left column.

Noticed that if the Start Menu folder shows, at the very top of window, used to show Exploring Start Menu. Now it just shows Start Menu. If My Documents folder opens, used to show at very top of window Exploring My Documents, now shows My Documents.

Under the Tools menu, General -tab, there are check marks beside-Enable Web content on my desktop; Enable Web content in folders; Open each folder in the same window; Double-click to open an item.

No matter what try to do, can`t get Windows Explorer to open like it used to, with the tree structure in the left column, showing the folders/files, with + signs beside various folder names.

Thank-you
