    Windows explorer navigation pane


    Hi!

    I got a problem with the sidebar in windows explorer. Sometimes when i open it the only things that shows is the favorites, libraries and homegroup titles but non of the folders or links that are supposed to be there.

    It stays like that for a while and then its back to normal (but only if/when i open a new explorer window). Im able to access e.g. the libraries when its like this but it looks like its searching for them but cant find them.


    Help is very much appriciated
    Thanks

    It can take a while to load everything on various machines, depending on hardware and configuration.

    If you don't want it to load all folders, ( which takes time);

    Navigation Pane - Automatically expand to current folder[2]=File%20Folder%20Settings

    there are other tutorials there on this and similar matters.

    By the way, that window is known as the "Explorer Navigation Pane", "Sidebar" refers to something else.
