Windows Eaplorer lost it's toolbars!

[Guest]

When using Windows explorer, it suddenly lost the command bar, tool;bar and
status bar. Now all I have is the blue bar at the top, the small pane on
left showing folders, and the large pane for files. I can't figure out how
to get the toolbars etc. back.
If I open it form the command prompt, using the switch /n, it opens
correctly, toolbars & all. But I can't get it to do that form the shortcut.
Any ideas?

Start | Run | Paste this in the box:

%windir%\EXPLORER.EXE /e,c:

OK
