Lost file NAME in Website Pane - cannot get it back!

Guest

I was working in FP2003, in the WEBSITE pane. There are titles for each of
the columns. I had a 'little shake' with the mouse in hand - and all the
file NAMES disappeared - not the icons, titles or any other column heading.
I tried everything to put the NAME column back in, and nothing works - not
even uninstalling and reinstalling the program. It is still available on my
other computer - to verify that I am not crazy! Without it there, I cannot
change title names either - other than in the folder list pane to the left.
Any suggestions?

Steve..thanks for your reply. I followed the link, downloaded the utility,
and tried it - sorry to say it did not work. I believe whatever I did...must
have made changes to a file somewhere on my system other than in FP2003.
Since I uninstalled/reinstalled, the problem should have resolved but didn't.
The program on my other computer is fine, but even when I reverse publish to
my local file, it still appears without the name column even though it
appears in the other program I used to upload the changes to my web. I'm at
a loss - and frustrated. Guess I'll have to wipe the drive and start all
over after my class is finished. Thanks again.

The columns widths are stored in the registry at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FrontPage\Explorer\FrontPage Explorer\Settings
- under Folder DetailColumns
If you delete that key using RegEdit, then uninstall / reinstall FP that key should be created the first time you open FP
Warning: make a back up of that key or the registry before editing the registry
