Windows explorer

On opening explorer in Windows ME the folder "tree" is missing. The search &
history buttons both work but not the folder one

Explorer's Folder View:

This particular problem is often the result of a damaged IE (usually IE6)
install or update, usually caused by doing so with either Norton or McAfee
AV running at the time. Yes I do realise you are talking about Windows
Explorer rather than Internet Explorer but the two are linked.

The first thing to try is to re-register the file shdocvw.dll. Do this by
typing the following command in the Run box (Start | Run)
REGSVR32 /i SHDOCVW.DLL
and then click OK

If that doesn't fix the problem then try repairing IE. Do this using
Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs and highlight Microsoft Internet
Explorer, click Add/Remove and then on the next screen select "Repair
Internet Explorer" and then OK.

If you don't have an entry for Microsoft Internet Explorer but rather it
reads something like Internet Explorer Q?????? don't worry. This is
because you have installed a cumulative update for Internet Explorer. You
will need to uninstall the update, then go back into Add/Remove Programs,
look again for Microsoft Internet Explorer, repair it and then reinstall
the latest cumulative update.
