Can't prevent "Folders" pane from appearing by default
Somehow/somewhere/sometime I must have hit a button or switch to cause the
Folder pane to appear by default whenever I open a folder. I have hunted high and low and am now admitting defeat. Does anyone know how to make this pane stop appearing everytime I open a window? It even reappears if I close it and then click to open a subfolder under the one I'm currently viewing. If you don't know the Folder pane I'm talking about, open a folder and then check the box next to "View" -- "Explorer Bar" -- "Folders" to see what it looks like. Any ideas? I feel like I've tried all the obvious stuff, but I'm open to anything. TIA...

If this fails, "folder" registry fix may be required.

Can't prevent "Folders" pane from appearing by default
Ramesh,
Thanks for your replies. The regsvr32 /i shell32 didn't change it. What's the folder reg hack? I've tried a number of other reg fixes and haven't been successful yet. I'm about to rebuild the thing but that seems a silly waste of time just because this one problem annoys me. "Ramesh" wrote in message ...

Hi,
Right-click a folder and see the options (which is set a default). Select "Open" to open a folder without explorer bars. Select "explorer" to open with folder bar in the left.
