re-set as mike said, go through slowly, close
the explorer, re-boot.

I'm afraid you have misunderstood me. When I browse the
contents of my harddrive with the explorer browser
everything is normal. It is only when I am using
the "browse" window, such as when I click the start
button, click 'run', then click 'browse'. Or when I am
choosing a directory to save something off the internet
to. Or when I am using a program and go to look for a
file to open. It is only in the "browse" window that this
problem occurs. Incidentally, I went to do as you
suggested, but there is no "apply to all folders" button,
only and "apply" button, which wasn't even active. Not
that that would have mattered anyways because the problem
is not in explorer. Thanks for trying to help me though.
