Default windows Explorer

I recently upgraded my Windows ME operating system with
the posted upgrades on microsoft/upgrade.com site. The
resultant effect is that when I now open up Windows
Explorer the folders options doesn't work. Even when I go
through the view/Explorer Bar/Folders option it still
doesn't work. All the options in this window work ie;
search, favorites, media etc.
What actually happens when the folders options selection
is made is that the left hand side pane within this window
is totally greyed out (and no computers,drives or folders
behind it)
I've tried a system restore to a previous date.
Unfortunately, the latest upgrade on system restore
appears to have reset the system restore calender to May
2004. Thus I can't go back to April for example to restore
to a known good date.
Another problem being encountered with the explorer window
is that I have set withi the Tools/folder options the tab
for the window to remember it's last setting. This doesn't
work.
Can anyone please suggest a course of correction other
than to use the system restoration CD.
