| | Missing Navigation Pane & toolbar I actually like the Navigation pane in Windows Explorer (if that's still what it's called in Vista). However, all of a sudden my Navigation pane and toolbar have gone missing and I want them back. No known viruses have been detected on my computer, although we have some performance issues with lack of speed. Any suggestions? I'm starting to really hate Vista. I've never had so many problems with other operating systems. |

| | RE: Missing Navigation Pane & toolbar I have no visible toolbar so I just right clicked. Organize is not one of the options listed.

| | Re: Missing Navigation Pane & toolbar Angela A couple of items that may have caused this. In Windows Explorer, click Organize/Layout and make sure that Navigation Pane and Menu Bar are selected. If the Navigation Pane is visible, but you only see 'Favorite Links', look at the bottom of the pane for 'Folders'. Hover the mouse cursor over the line directly above the word 'Folders' until it turns into a double arrow, press and hold the left mouse button and drag it to the top of the pane. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "Angela" <Angela@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:A2C20DC9-135D-4D14-8B06-7005ECCE486C@xxxxxx Quote: >I actually like the Navigation pane in Windows Explorer (if that's still >what > it's called in Vista).

| | Re: Missing Navigation Pane & toolbar Ronnie, I really appreciate your help. This may be a stupid question but how do I click Organize/Layout? There is no toolbar, no menu bar, nothing at the top of the window that has any buttons/menu items to click on. There is nothing in the window that even says Organize.

| | Re: Missing Navigation Pane & toolbar Angela The Organize button is on the new Vista Command Bar, it is a bar that is located directly under the Address Bar at the top of the Windows Explorer window. There is no way to hide this bar as far as I know? How are you opening Windows Explorer? -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "Angela" <Angela@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:7ED39E8D-4288-40C5-8B83-7CE6F44CD86E@xxxxxx Quote: > Ronnie, > I really appreciate your help.
