Windows Explorer FOLDER view not appearing

I have a Dual xeon 3 gig ram machine with windows server 2000 standard on and
all the latest service packs and hotfixes with a strange problem.

I am in no way able to view the folder view containing drives and folders at
all.

history view and Search view as well as favorites view work perfectly.

But if I were to click on show the folders view all that appears is a
gray/windows coloured frame(were the folders whould appear) with a X to close
this frame.

Any and all help would be immensely appreciated.

Thank you.
 
Copy the lines below into a file named 'IEReg.bat' and double click it to
run it. This will reregister some DLLs for IE and the operating system.

Try merging this to the registry. Copy the stuff between the == lines
with notepad and save the file as a .reg file. Then merge the file.

It's worth trying if you are at the point where you must consider a
reinstall.

I was loathe to do this since this is my primary application server and my
domain controller. I looked around some more in some other newsgroups and it
was suggested to reinstall Internet Explorer as there might be some corrupt
IE files that affect Windows Explorer - this did the trick. It made me
reboot the server when it was finished, but much less drastic than the
in-place UG.

Thanks for your help.

I was loathe to do this because this is my primary application server and my
domain controller. I have users on almost all of the time. I looked around
in another newsgroup and it was suggested to reinstall IE6, that some files
may be corrupt. That fixed it.

Thanks for your help.

Kathy
 
Glad to hear it's sorted.
