Hi Ben,
You may want to try reinstalling Internet Explorer. For more information, see the
following Microsoft Knowledge Base Article that includes the following...
"SYMPTOMS
In addition, the Folder view pane in Windows Explorer may be blank or gray
instead of having the folder tree view."
KB265829 - AddRemove Programs Tool May Not Work After Installing Internet
Explorer 5_5 or Internet Explorer 6 on Windows 2000

Or, if you want to try a registry fix published at the "Tech Support Guy Bulletin
Board", see:

: Looking for help fixing explorer. When using windows
: explorer, using right-click then Explore, or just using
: the Windows explorer icon, the folders view (the left
: side) is blank/gray. Not sure why. Basically, I can only
: browse by double-clicking icons, like double-clicking My
: Computer, etc. Anyone know anything?
