Sounds like you hid some drives with TweakUI, Harold.  That causes Open and
Explore to be grayed out when you right click on the Start button.  Open
TweakUI and show those drives again and the problem should be solved.

Subject: PCWorks: Right-clicking the Start button


Greetings from Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, NY ... Windows98

When right-clicking the Start menu, I get a "Find" and a "Scan for
v*ruses" (that's good, though I never use it) . however; the "Explore"
and "Open" (which are important to me) are grayed out. I've never seen
this happen before.

Now what I had done when reinstalling the system was (after everything
was installed), delete all the shortcuts in the Start Menu folder (found
in the Windows directory) and copy into that Start Menu folder, from my
backup, the shortcuts that I keep organized to my liking. I don't think
this is related as I've done it many times before with no problems
showing up.

Question: What might have happened and how do I reinvigorate the Explore
and Open lines in the right-click of the Start button and get them to be
grayed IN instead of grayed out? Don't tell me to reinstall the system
as that is what I just did; that's how I got the "Exploring" window to
work properly again (remember?).
