Sorry then I don't understand. Someone else might. However I think
what you are talking about is the sidebar in explorer that shows things
like 'system tasks', 'other places', and details, and inside the other
places is my network places, my docs, shared docs and control panel.

If this is what is missing is this sidebar I can turn it on and off by
clicking search or folders on the top. Is there anything on the left
side? If not, then go to tools, folder options and make sure the
first 'tasks' radio button is selected.

Beyond this, I guess I don't understand your problem.
