WinExplorer - two entries for C: - help!

To resolve some otherwise intractable issues, I've just nuked the C: drive on my
kids' box and reinstalled 98SE. No big deal.

However, Windows Explorer now shows duplicate entries in the left pane for the
C: drive. If I select C: in the left pane, the right pane only shows the one
entry, but whenever I expand the tree in the left pane the duplication is there.
After sitting watching the re-install, I'm not keen to blow it all away and
repeat the install in the hope it will go away.

Anyone seen this before? Any constructive suggestions?

There used to be an effect with "W" drives appearing in Explorer that way, replacing
Control panel and Printers, in IE5 and IE5.5, and I recall seeing it also with other
drive letters, creating a duplicate drive letter in only one pane.
What version of IE do you currently have installed? You might try installing (or
reinstalling) IE6 SP1

This is "straight out of the (CD) box" vanilla 98SE so at present it is 5.0.

The problem has actually resolved itself now - somehow - after a few more
reboots. Weird.

It may return....it often occurred when manipulating files with WinZip, and other
apps. I suggest you upgrade to IE6 SP1 anyway, for security, then get all the
necessary critical updates.
