I downloaded the Critical Update Service Pack for Internet
Explorer 6.
Now I cannot get the Folders Explorer Bar in Windows
Explorer. It comes up grey and blank.
The other Explorer Bars work .... Search Media and
Favourites ... but not the Folders one.
Please can anyone help via email .... above Please

Thanks

Explorer's Folder View:
This particular problem is often the result of a damaged IE (usually IE6)
install, often as a result of doing so with Norton or McAfee running at the
time. Yes I do realise you are talking about Windows Explorer rather than
Internet Explorer but the two are linked. May I suggest that you try
repairing IE. Do this using Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs and highlight
Microsoft Internet Explorer, click Add/Remove and then on the next screen
select "Repair Internet Explorer" and then OK.

If you don't have an entry for Microsoft Internet Explorer but rather it reads
something like Internet Explorer Q?????? don't worry. This is because you
have installed a cumulative update for Internet Explorer. You will need to
uninstall the update, then go back into Add/Remove Programs, look again for
Microsoft Internet Explorer, repair it and then reinstall the latest
cumulative update.

If this doesn't work or you have no entry for Internet Explorer in Add/Remove
Programs please post back and someone will hopefully post further details on
how to repair Explorer.
