No go sry

I tryed that b4. The thing is I didnt do anything b4 to get rid of the bar. I was just looking through my folders and suddenly it was gone. wierd.

Try clicking the "Folders" button on the toolbar so the Folder tree isn't enabled in a folder window, or select View | Explorer Bar - uncheck "Folders". Also, make sure the "Enable Web Content In Folders" option is selected under Folder Options, and the window is wide enough to show both the Web View bar and the file list at the same time.

The tree isnt there but I cant find this "Enable Web Content In Folders" option. is it under folderoptions/view? I cant see it there

Looks like a restart has fixed the problem. Dunno what caused it and dunno how it fixed but it is. Thanx 4 your help.

I cant find this "Enable Web Content In Folders" option
I was thinking of either the "Active desktop" option in the Group Policy Editor...Start | Run | Type gpedit.msc and hit OK | Expand the following branch...

User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Desktop | Active Desktop | "Enable Active Desktop"

...or the option in TweakUI for XP called " Allow Web content to be added to the desktop"...my fault. :)
