Help with Folders

[Glen Mettler]

When I double click on a folder all I get is a blank folder - although there
are files in it. Also, I get the little dog in the panel on the left but
there are no options. I have tried to change the options but there is
nothing in the header that allows me to make changes - no menu.

However, when I use Explorer to open the folder, all the files are there.

I have re-installed SP2 but nothing helps.

Anybody know what I can do?

Try here:

Galen,
Thanks for the reply. However, when I go the the site and hit "Download" I
get the opened file. It does not download.
I tried to copy it out to a .Bat file and run it, but that didn't work
either.
