Directory/Folder View

[Marcy]

I use VLC for music and when I click, in VLC, on "Open file", in any
directory or folder, I get, on the left side, "My Recent Documenst",
"Desktop", "My Documents", "Computer", and "My Network Places".
I do not get this view from "My Computer" or anyother method of seeing
what files are in a folder or directory. I have the "View" set to "Tiles"
everywhere. I would like to get rid of the left side of the window, but
don't know how. Is this a VLC problem or is there a method to rid myself
of this irratation ?? TIA

Try going to the Control Panel (Start, Settings, Control Panel)
Select Folder Options
General tab
check "Use Windows Classic folders

It is set to "Classic Folders". Like I mentioned , it's only with this one
particular program. I guess it's VLC that's the problem.
