Default 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

Those Network Drive options are normal. According to HELP, they are used
"to assign (map) a drive letter to a network computer or folder." I
never click mine. Just don't click yours!

Did you R-Clk inside the My Computer window, point to View, & select "As
WEB Page"?

Default

the Map Network Drives menu items, IIRC those only appear if you have Client for
Microsoft Networks installed, in Control Panel Network. Have a look there, at the
installed Clients, Protocols, Adapters, and Services. Post back with what is in
your list. If you are not on a network or sharing the internet connection with
other computers in your home, and you ISP does not require it, you may want to
remove the Client from the Network control panel, add Microsoft Family Logon as the
default client, and then set it as the Primary Network Logon just below the list in
the control panel.

Curious what happened to cause the change. It's possible that your system restored
a previous registry that is old, from a time when the Client was installed. Odd
though.......
