For example if someone with XP opens "My Documents", there should be a sidebar on the left hand side which lists options such as: "File and Folder Tasks", "Other Places", and "Details". My window just shows all the icons, and nothing on the side. How do I get that particular sidebar back? I don't remember having it but it has been brought to my attention that it should be there. I have gone through all the options at the top of the window, such as "file", "edit", "view", and can't seem to find where the option is to get it back. I have Windows XP, Home Edition Version 5.1 with Service Pack 2. I sincerely appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks in advance.

Thanks to both answers. Apparently, I didn't check ALL the options. I found it like 30 seconds after I posted the question. I must have had a "senior moment" lol.

Open Windows Explorer, Tools, Folder Options, General, Tasks, Show common tasks in folders. This will reset all windows to default..
