TheSecretAzNMan Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I don't know how, or when, but recently, the sidebar in windows xp is gone. I can make it display by choosing to use the search sidebar, or favorites, but the one that shows folder tasks is gone. I can't get it to display. How do you fix this?

TheSecretAzNMan Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 Hmm. It doesn't appear to work. Also, I'm having styler hide the explorer bar for explorer, but that's only the file, tools, view [et cetera.] I unchecked it, applied it, then checked and applied it again, but it did nothing. I'm using the areao4 vs, and I'm pretty sure it should have one.. [unless it was removed from the VS.. if that's possible] Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/519619-windows-xp-explorer-folder-sidebar-gone/#findComment-588118779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazebee_ Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 are you sure the shellstyle is in the right place if you're using a VS.

TheSecretAzNMan Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 It should be in resources\themes\[visual style]\shell\[subtheme, if necessary], right?

Stefanie Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Quote If your wondering why there's isn't a shellstyle don't. There is. the point was to make it look like there isn't because imo, they're ugly.

+BudMan MVC Posted December 8, 2006 MVC Share Posted December 8, 2006 you sure it just not that you have common tasks off in the folder options? on off Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/519619-windows-xp-explorer-folder-sidebar-gone/#findComment-588120166 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSecretAzNMan Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 I'm sure its on. It stopped showing the common tasks bar after I started using Neogenix VS. I switched to Areao4 after using neogenix vs. I'm sure Neogenix has a common tasks sidebar though.... o_O Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/519619-windows-xp-explorer-folder-sidebar-gone/#findComment-588121048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
smsmith Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Read Stefanie's post above again. Areao4 has a shellstyle that mimicks NO shellstyle. Heylove doesn't like them. So, she made it look like there isn't one when you use that VS.

TheSecretAzNMan Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 I'm wondering why they became disabled sometime before using Areao4. Is there any way to re-enable it? I find it highly useful. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/519619-windows-xp-explorer-folder-sidebar-gone/#findComment-588124191 Share on other sites More sharing options...
