I have no idea what I did. Normally when I open the folder called My Documents everything is pushed over to the right side and there is a little space that describes the highlighted item on the left.
For some reason, today, when I opened it all of the items are spread out and there is no description.
I clicked on a lot of things and I made the grey part on top shrink (not what I wanted to do). I can’t fix that and I don’t know how to get the descriptions back.
I believe (I’m not on a Win98 machine at present, so this is from memory) the selection you want on the View menu is “View as Webpage”. I hate that option myself, but I know a lot of people find it useful.
You probably clicked on the “Views” button on the toolbar by mistake. You can toggle the different views by clicking on the “Views” button. If you click the down arrow to the right of the views button, you can see the various options.
If you don’t have your toolbar displayed (which sounds like your second problem), you can use the “View” menu item at the top of the window. Your choices will be Large Icons, Small Icons, List, and Details. You can also select As Web Page which will change the look as well.
For the other problem, under the View menu item, select toolbars and try the various options to restore the look of the top of the window.
Ok, thanks. That fixed the preview thing. But I still don’t have the grey part working right.
It used to have little arrows that were for going back and forward and a big X on it, but now it’s just a skinny grey bar up top that says * file, views, go, help*
I’m clicking on stuff but I’m not getting the grey bar up top back to normal.
In Windows 95 it was my experience that sometimes your stuff would just… change cosmetic positions when it displayed on your PC, for not any apparent reason.
Maybe Win98 has a similar issue?
