Web style window does not display properly

Running Win98se, IE v. 6.0 sp1 w/128 bit cipher strength, and 184 MB RAM.
When I shut down my computer earlier today, it froze momentarily, then went
into safe mode. From there, I clicked Start, then shut down, and let my pc
rest for a few minutes. When I turned it back on, it went back into normal
mode, and everything looked okay. However, when I clicked on the My
Computer icon on desktop, the window did not display in web page format. All
my other window applications were okay, and displayed correctly in web page
format. I went to folder options, and the web style radio button was
selected. I even tried tweeking the other settings, then applying the web
style view as default. Still the window is displaying in Classic style.
Also, when I right click the My Computer icon, the menu has 2 new options on
there--Map Network Drive, and Disconnect Network Drive. So the issues here
are two-fold. Is there anyway of getting the My Computer back into Web style
format, and also getting rid of those 2 items to do with Network Drives?
Thanks, chip618

Um, the only two settings for Web view I know of are in folder options (
which you already mentioned ) and in right click on Desktop, Properties and
Web. Not sure why people choose to use this setting, since it clearly slows
down your system.

As for the "Map network drive" and "Disconnect network drive"...this doesn't
effect anything. In fact, if you ever do decide to hook two computers
together .... you'll most likely use these two options.

Double-click My Computer.
Click the View menu.
Click "As a Web page" to give it a checkmark.
Press F5
Hold down the CTRL key while you close My Compter with the X in the upper right
corner.
