How to restore Folders View's directory info

[Ryall]

After I uninstalled FrontPage 2003 beta version on one of
my workstation, and reinstalled Fpage 2002, the Folders
view no longer shows a directory level representation of
the files and folders; ie., name date, title, etc.

The Fpage 2002 on my other workstations (that I did not
install the FPage 2003 beta) still shows all the directory
info.

Any advice or recommendations?

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
