MY PICTURES

[neilinthegarden]

I just brought my computer back from the geek hospital. Now, when I open my
MY PICTURES folder something is missing: The menu on the left side of the
screen that has hyperlinks to tasks such as "Delete this folder" or "Move
this folder", etcetera. How do I get it back?
Thanks so much for your help!

Hiya Neil,

Try this >>>>>>

open MY PICTURES
select Tools menu
select Folder Options
on General Tab select 'show common tasks in folders'

that should do the trick

Read Shenan's answer, but let me add two points:

1. If a serviceman or service company changes something on your
computer, it's *their* responsibility to fix it at no charge. You
should not accept their having screwed something up.

2. If, by the "geek hospital," you mean the Geek Squad, let me point
out that in my view, and that of many of us here, that's about the
worst possible place to service your computer. Those people are
largely incompetent.

Service by the Geek Squad or by any other big box company should be
avoided at all cost. You would almost certainly be far better off
finding a local serviceman with a small company to work on your
computer.
