Window Key + E problem 2

[bjd4jc]

When I press the Windows Key + E I get a windows explorer window as expected but when it shows up all of my menus and tool bars are gone. I don't know how the get them back. Can anyone help?

I have tried right-clicking and I can never get a context menu that helps any.

Thanks

So if I understand correctly, you don't even get the File/Edit/View/Favorites/Tools/Help menus, correct? Have you attempted to "Alt-V" (View menu) and readjust the toolbars? How about right click my computer and explore. Does that give you the same look?

From Tools (Alt-T), Folder Options, and the view tab, have you attempted to "restore defaults" and Reset All folders?

-I don't have the File/Edit/View etc.

-I can't do anything but Alt+space to get any of the menus up.

-I get the same behavior if I right click MC and do explore

-If I double click on MC I get all of the menus and address bars

-I tried to "restore defaults" and "Reset All Folders" but it didn't change anything.

Thanks

If this is a recent happening try System Restore.

What's the view like from Safe Mode or from another user in Normal Mode?

Anything within the local (or domain) policy that might be doing this?

User Config / Windows Settings / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Explorer
