Help get My Computer view back to default.

Hey,

My My Computer has spontaneously started looking like this:

How can I get it back to the normal view with the blue bar that shows disk usage?

Organise --> Layout then play with the options there maybe? Should have the options to "zero" it

Thanks for the reply.

I went through each layout and icon view option and nothing brings it back to normal.

look for an option to show common tasks in folder.
im on xp so cant be much more help but im guessing thats what you're asking for.

Thanks, but I cant find the Common Tasks option in Windows 7. I don't think it exists.

I've also tried resetting everything in Folder Options, but the problem's still there.

bar on left is navigation pane
bar at bottom is details pane

both are accessed :

organize-drop down menu select layout

optional bar on right is preview pane...right hand side of screen.

another option is to select change your view...top right hand side of screen and select content.
