Close ALL Windows/Internet Explorer windows..

Open Windows Explorer.
Choose View --> (Whatever view you like best)
(Heck, Choose View --> Status Bar - toggle that too, look at the bottom of
the window - see which one you like best.)

Tools --> Folder Options
General Tab
(Change whatever you want here.. For example: Show Common Tasks in
Folders)

Tools --> Folder Options
View tab
(Change whatever check boxes you want here..)
THEN - Click on Apply to all Folders
Answer to the positive for whatever questions..

Close Windows Explorer..
Open Windows Explorer...

That do it for you?
