Right click Start button - Explore or Open does not work

Hi there,

When I right click Start button, choose either Explore, Open, Explore All
Users, or Open All Users, nothing happens. The items are not greyed-out.

However, if I right click My Computer and select Open or Explore, it works.

Any idea how I can fix this?

Thank you and regards,

Chen

Chen,

If you have installed Tweakui which is part of Power Toys be sure to
check ALL drives under My Computer.

Start > Programs > Power Toys. Is where it installed to on my XP Pro
machine.

In Win 9x it installed to the Control Panel.

Worth a try.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your reply. I have confirmed that all the drives are checked in
TweakUI. I even went to registry to double check that the key for nodrive
does not exist.

Any other clue?

Thank you and regards,

Chen
