Hi guys,
I have a user who we upgraded to IE6 SP1, and now windows explorer won't display the folders in the explorer bar. When you select it, the entire pane comes up grey. We can open the search, history, and favourites panes. If any of these panes are open, and we select the Folder view pane, the existing pane just expands slightly but doesn't change.
