Explorer Bar in Windows Explorer

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

My computer did an Automatic Microsoft XP Upgrade the other day and since
then when I open Windows Explorer I do not get the folder list in the left
pane. I Select Folders from the View - Explorer Bar menu selection and the
folder list appears. I then select Tools - Folder Options and press the Apply
to all folders Button. Remember each folder's view settings is also checked.
When I reopen Windows Explorer later on I do not get the folders list as it
did before the upgrade.

Thanks
Shayne

Edit the shortcut's "Target" to read;

%systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,C:\

(the /e switch is what provides the functionality.)

Hi,

Same thing happened to me but with My Computer,

When I open My Computer I do not get the folder list in the left
pane. I Select Folders from the View - Explorer Bar menu selection and the folder list appears. I then select Tools - Folder Options and press the Apply to all folders Button. Remember each folder's view settings is also checked. When I reopen My Computer later on I do not get the folders list as it did before the upgrade.

In your answer I found that I need to edit shortcut's "Target"
but I can't edit shortcut's target on the My Computer

Can You help Me.

Its annoying but once you get the fix its no problem at all.
You need to change the default to EXPLORE folders instead of OPEN them.

To change, from windows explorer, click on Tools, Folder Options, and then the File Types tab. Find (NONE) Folder in the list and highlight it. Click the Advanced button. Select Explore. It should be bold now. Apply to all folders.

The modified shortcuts like the solution about just don't work on my XP home sp3, I don't know why. But this solution is better I think.
