    Browse for Folder dialog broken (Wont display the folder tree at all)


    The Browse For Folder dialog broke for whatever reason and I cant link it to anything specific I have done.

    Please see image. The left is what I get, right is what I should see. The issue is some programs I use don't have the box for manually typing the location so I cant use them, I cant select location to save files etc.
    Any help fixing this? In what direction I should look?

    (Please no reinstall Windows etc. Thanks)

    BTW: I have another healthy machine next to me so I could maybe compare registry entries, or files which are different. If anyone knows what I should look for please let me know.

    Edit: This is Windows 7 Ultimate x64

    Seems like I was too quick to post. I looked again and found a solution.

    I did a SFC /SCANNOW and it works now! Please excuse me for creating another thread with the same issue.

Windows Explorer Folder Tree

Is it possible to have the windows explorer folder tree follow the path one extends? If I enter a subfolder by dubbel clicking on it in the files-pane, I want that folder to become expanded in the treeview as well, ie. as both Vista and XP did.
