Quote:ABF: I feel you; my parents had ME for the longest time (perhaps they still do...?), and it's terrible. I'd help you out, but I'm not sure exactly what you mean. You probably already tried, but would it help to play around with the view menu, or the folder options?
Oh, almost immediately I found that there is a folder-specific folder sidebar options setting (right in the rightclick menu of the folder) which lets you restore it in that folder, but that would need to be done separately in every single folder on the system, not exactly a reasonable proposition... :)
I tried looking it up on Microsoft's support section, but didn't find anything. As for what caused it... well, probably one of the numerous crashes or freezes my system experiences... sometimes they cause bad effects, and it's impossible to do anything about it. Who knows what'll happen next time! :D
Quote:There, problem solved. Also, as long as you're doing that, why not try a screen resolution that didn't become obsolete in 1998 .
Just to make you suffer after I get a new PC I'll run Vista with a 800x600 desktop... :)
Quote:Sorry, I'm not too familiar with ME. Do you mean the window with the Folders in Windows Explorer? There should be a button that toggles them.
No, that does have a toggle button. I mean the sidebar that's always on the screen (the left bar with the disk space and stuff in this case):
