Folders panel blank on Explorer

In some systems I have noticed that the Windows Explorer folders panel was
gray (empty); repairing or reinstalling IE6 SP1 does not solve this.

Months ago I found a solution to this, that's a registry change for a DLL,
or something like this. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Click Start Run, type the following and click OK:

regsvr32 /i shdocvw

(That's r e g s v r 3 2 space / i space s h d o c v w )

Junior,

This should be it, AAH posted it recently.

Windows Explorer folder pane is blank - grayed out

When you open Windows Explorer, you may notice that the folder pane
in the left side is completely grayed out. This happens if the
registry key for Explorer Band is missing. To resolve the problem,
type the following command in the RUN box:

REGSVR32 /i SHDOCVW
(Note that the /i parameter is mandatory)

More Information: The following registry key is responsible to view
the explorer pane (left pane). The problem indicated above occurs,
if this key is missing:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{EFA24E64-B078-11d0-89E4-00C04FC9E26E}]

I can't test this on the next days, but it seems to be the solution that I
used before and worked.

I would like to thank all of you for the help!
