hi,

need some advises.
why is it that my Win NT 4.0 workstation is viewed in Win98 format (meaning-viewing in My Computer is the same as in Win98).no options such as 'browse folders by using a single window that changes as you open each folder'.

i have administrator rights on this workstation.

is there any settings to change it?

thanks

I'm confused here. When you open My Computer and open the View menu, Options is not showing? or is it greyed out?

Despite the fact that you have administrator rights on that workstation, if a policy was set at the domain level to prevent what you are trying to do, you may be out of luck. Or if a policy was set on the local computer, you may need to edit that policy.

If you are describing what I think you are the workstation has, or once had IE4.0 with Active Desktop enabled. Disabling veiw web content in the folders options applet in control panel will make the web content go away, but the actual user interface, explorer, is for ever changed by the installation of active desktop. IE5 and later do not install or even have the option to install active desktop without first customizing the install with IEAK.
