Vista - Can't see any printers in the printers folder

Can't see any printers in the printers folder

When I click on Control Panel>Printers, Explorer opens with Printers folder
on the left but none of the printers show in the right pane (there are
several printers installed). This is preventing me from changing the
default printer.

Any way to correct this?

Go to Control Panel > Printers and then click on
Organize > Layout > Navigation Pane

OK now, all the printers show after a reboot.

Thank you for your help.
