Junior,
This should be it, AAH posted it recently.

This should put it right.
I do not remember the author of this piece
but it does works in most cases.
---------------------------------------------------
Windows Explorer folder pane is blank - grayed out
When you open Windows Explorer, you may notice that the folder pane
in the left side is completely grayed out. This happens if the
registry key for Explorer Band is missing. To resolve the problem,
type the following command in the RUN box:
REGSVR32 /i SHDOCVW
(Note that the /i parameter is mandatory)
More Information: The following registry key is responsible to view
the explorer pane (left pane). The problem indicated above occurs,
if this key is missing:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{EFA24E64-B078-11d0-89E4-00C04FC9E26E}]
