FP02 File/Folder names not displayed in Folders view

[Bret Hilton]

FP2002: File and folder names are not displayed
in 'Folders' view. The icons for the files and folders are
listed, but not the names. Back in the day I would have
shrugged it off and just reinstalled the application
(Frontpage), but that's not so easy now with Microsoft's
product activation.

Thanks in advance,

Bret

Did you at one time have the FP2003 BETA installed?
If so Several users have reported this problem
(seems the uninstall does not clean out some registry entries)

Try the below registry edit before you repair/reinstall MSO XP/ FP 2002

Find the key
hkcu/software/microsoft/frontpage/explorer/fp explorer/settings

Any of the values listed in here that start with the number 5 should be
deleted. This will reset all of the column widths, etc, but it will get the
filenames and any other problems resolved.
There should only be one or two for folder view, but any view that was
used/modified with a beta version of FP2003 could be affected.

PS
Also delete all FP Temp and *.web files before opening FP2002, then run a Tools Recalculate Hyperlinks

Brilliant! Thank you very much! Yes, I DID have FP2003
Beta previously installed.

I cleared the value of
hkcu/software/microsoft/frontpage/explorer/fp
explorer/settings/FilesDetailColumns and that fixed it.

Thanks again,

Bret
