Control panel stuck in Classic View

In Vista Beta 2, Build 5384 I clicked on Classic View while I was on the
control panel and now I lost that sidebar on the left that allows be to get
back to Category view. Does anyone know how I can get that left sidebar
back? I have gone over every window and folder setting configuration that I
can find and nothing brought back the opportunity to see the control panel in
Category View. I'm stuck in ugly classic view! Aaaaaah!

Thanks!

Re: Control panel stuck in Classic View

In Control Panel, press ALT on your keyboard, click Tools > Folder Options >
under General tab > under Task > select the "Show preview and filters" radio
box.

Re: Control panel stuck in Classic View

Show preview and filters radio button is already selected. I am seeing the
left sidebar on every other page *except* for the control panel. I read in
another thread that this is a known bug with Beta 2. I was hoping there was
a registry setting or something that I could change.

Sorry for the double posting, btw...
