My windows explorer no longer displays the directory tree in the lefthand
pane. Instead the pane is all grey with an x at the top to close the pane.
No amount of messing with the folder options seems to get it back to normal.
Other options like the search pane or favorites pane are fine if I display
them.

Thanks
Dave
