Games Explorer sidebar disappeared

The bit on the right hand side of games explorer that gives extra information
about games has disappeared somehow and I can't get it back!

Please help.

Re: Games Explorer sidebar disappeared

If you've recently 'reset folders' those settings will disappear, this is a
bug, there's a few iffy little things like that with explorer and some of
its options.
