The Windows Explorer screen usually starts off with two screens. The Left screen shows the structure of the Folders, while the Right screen shows the files in the selected Folder.
MY left screen is visible (not closed), but is completely gray. The only button I can see is the X to close the left screen. Going to View/ExplorerBar/Folders does not correct my missing info.
This situation makes copying files from one Folder to another very awkward.
ANY CLUES out there? Thanks in advance
