HELP- Windows Explorer

[cstierhoff]

Hi all,
I need help. This is the second time it has happened. 1st time I fixed it by loading a previous Ghost image of my system to get rid of the problem. Now 4 months later it's back and I would rather fix the problem than load a Ghost image.

Here goes.

OS=Windows 2K with all service packs and updates.

Problem = My Menu bar and all of the toolbars have diappeared from the Windows Explorer. When I open a Windows Explorer it looks like a popup window with just a blue Title bar. I know some of you are thinking that the "Toolbars are locked". Well that's Ok. The problem is the featue to 'unlock the toolbar' is accessed thru 'View' on the Menu bar. I can't get to that feature because the Menu bar is gone.

Anyone know of a regedit that could fix this problem?

Thanks,
cstierhoff

Dunno if this will help (found it here.

1) With (only one) IE open, click View, select: Status Bar
2) Right-click on IE's Toolbar and select: "Lock the Toolbars"
3) Hold down the Ctrl key and click the close button (upper right)
4) Right click on the Start Button to open Windows Explorer, click View, select: Status Bar
5) Right-click on Explorer's Toolbar and select: "Lock the Toolbar"
6) Click Tools | Folder Options | View tab
7) Click the "Apply to all folders" button. (Click OK if this gives you another dialogue question)
8) Hold down the Ctrl key and click the close button (upper right)
9) Reopen IE to any page, right-click on a link and select: "Open in New Window" The Status Bar should remain visible.
10)Click on the Start Button, select RUN, and type REGEDIT

11) Verify that these Registry entries exist:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
"Show_StatusBar"="yes"
"Show_URLinStatusBar"="yes"



OR


go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
select "Show_StatusBar"
go to 'Permissions...' from Edit menu
click 'Advanced'
find your user name in the list & click 'edit' button
put a check next to 'Set value' under 'Deny'
OK, OK, OK, OK.



Dunno if these will help, but it's worth a try.
