Links in Windows Explorer in ME

For some reason I have lost the ability to click on the links that appear in
Explorer's "web view". ie. when you are in "My documents", on the left there
is:

My Network Places
My Computer

Usually clicking on these takes you to their respective folders.

Not anymore. Doesn't do anything..

Barebones ME installation ... have Systemworks 2002, and Office 2000, and
have run all available updates to all these programs (i.e. have IE6 on
system).

Any ideas?

Does Help & Support work OK? - if not, then look here

Thanks for replying, but my "Help and Support" page still works fine .....

Still don't know what to do..

Hmmm - try this...
Reboot to Safe Mode
Go to Add/Remove Programs and try a repair of Internet Explorer from there.
Go to the entry for 'Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and Internet Tools'
in Add/Remove Programs
Click on Remove - and click on Repair on the window that pops up
Reboot on request to Normal Mode

If the above entry isn't there, you first need to uninstall all the patches
applied, then do the repair, then reapply the patches
The patches are listed in Add/Remove under the names 'Internet Explorer
Qxxxxxx'
highlight, click Remove - reboot if requested.
Repeat until the MSIE6SP1 entry appears - then repair as above.

HTH
