Web View & Enable Web content in Folders in XP is Common Tasks.
See my first post.
Web View Bar Is Not Visible in a Folder Window
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;291102
[[The Web View bar (with Tasks, Other Places, and Details sections) may not
be visible in a folder window, even though the Enable Web Content In Folders
option is selected under Folder Options. ]]
That part of the KB Article is incorrect for Windows XP. The Web View bar
is called Tasks pane. Enable Web Content In Folders Options is Show common
tasks in folders.

Hope this helps. Let us know.
