Left side of Explorer greyed out

[Nadine]

We have a terminal server running Win2000 server SP4.
The left side of windows explorer is completely grey, it
has the close button showing but thats it. We have other
teminal servers and these are fine. I've trawled through
the web looking for an answer but no luck.

Does anyone have any ideas to fix this??

Thanks
Nadine

Some things to try;

1. Launch Add/Remove Programs. (Control Appwiz.cpl)
2. Choose the Add/Remove Windows Components button.
3. Keep choosing Next until Finish appears, then choose Finish. (Do not
make any changes.)
4. Reboot.

Then check to see if the issue is resolved.

If the issue still exists, try the following:
1. Open Add/Remove Programs
2. Click on the Microsoft IE6 entry
3. Click the Change/Remove button
4. Select the Repair Internet Explorer radio button
5. Click OK and allow the repair to complete.

Restart computer and try again.

If the issue still exists, try the following:

1. Go to registry editor (regedit.exe), backup and then delete the following
key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{EFA24E64-B078-11d0-89E4-00C04FC9E26E}
2. Import the key from another computer.
3. Restart computer and check again.

Hi Nadine....

This is caused by, strangely enough, Internet Explorer.
Since IE is now so integrated into the browser there is a specific DLL that
has not been correctly
registered in either Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer.

This is how we fix this.

Action Plan
**********
1. open "wordpad"
2. copy this text (below) into the "wordpad"
3. save the "wordpad" file as "IEreg.bat" to your desktop and then "double
click" to launch
