My Network Places missing a paneFrom the start button/menu I select "My Network Places". When the "My
Network Places" window opens it is missing the left pane that should have a blue backgound and the "Network Tasks", "Other Places" and "Details" menus. Any idea how to get it back? This is on my Dell laptop. My regular desktop computer is OK and shows these menus. Thanks for any help. I'm sure is something simple and I'll kick myself for having to ask. BullRider wrote:
