Start button right click options
At some point (not sure when) my friend lost the ability to right
click on the start button and click explore. The only option not greyed out is find. How can this be restored? Thanks |

To give a little more detail to the other replies here.....if your friend has
TweakUI installed, start it (click Start Settings Control Panel TweakUI), then click its "My Computer" tab. Make sure that *every* drive letter listed there has a black check mark in the box next to it, and click OK. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "granjan" wrote in message ...

Mine was already ticked. So much to know so many places to look. (but this n/g is the first I would go to rather than a windows help-file). Btw, I have been changing i.s.p's in the last few days along with sorting out many other things, so if Dan is listening I havent yet attempted to put Linux on, but I will keep you posted. regards Jane |
