Solved Can not view folders

[Superluigi6]

Hi there,

When I ALWAYS try to open a file/upload a file into a website such as this forum and even Blogger, it would not allow me to go into the other libraries such as Desktop and Pictures. I will include a photo.

How may I get rid of this error? I think it's a Win. 7 issue.

Hello Super Luigi,

Sorry, but your screenshot doesn't show anything helpful. Could you provide more details?

Just a few questions to help:

Are you trying to upload from or save to your desktop and/or Pictures?

What happens when you try?

Any error messages?

 

[Superluigi6]

I'll try to explain it so you can understand

Whenever I try to upload an image/file onto an online service, such as this forum, it will only let me upload files from the Downloads folder.

There is no error message, because the folders/libraries of my computer are not shown.

Please respond if you need more help

If this has just recently started, then you could do a system restore using a restore point (if available) dated before this started to hopefully fix it.

 

[Superluigi6]

Are there any other options rather than a system restore? I could try shutting my computer down soon.

 

[Brink]

If you mean that your navigation pane is blank when you try to not be able to navigate, then a system restore could be the fastest way to possibly fix this if it's an available option.

Okay, when I was looking in my library to view my photos (not to upload them), the navigation buttons (back and forward) were different. Could this be something?

But, relating to the problem, the navigation page IS completely blank and only lets me search through the "Downloads" folder. Is there something I could set maybe in the Registry Editor or something like that?

Any more pictures I could do? A video?

A snip of the issues would be very helpful, without being scribbled out.

This is the preferred, best way to upload an image to a post.

You may also upload a photo without using the Snipping tool.

Okay, here you go. I added a sentence that said that I clicked on the Upload Files button.

The main thing I notice is that your navigation pane (left side) is empty.

Do you have this issue in any other web browser?

Is it also empty when you open Windows Explorer?

 

[Britton30]

In any Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer) window, click the Organize button and follow the numbers in the snip:

Other browsers=sorta. While using IE10, the navigation pane is blank but the main area is the desktop. But when I open a folder to explore it, it will not let me go back/sticks to that folder.

And for windows explorer, i can use the navigation pane in Explorer.

And for the most recent reply, I did it and Navigation pane was already selected. Still have the issue.

 

[Brink]

Yeah, you have navigation pane turned on, but it's empty for some reason when it should not be.

For now, run a sfc /scannow command to see if finds and can repair any corrupted or modified system files that will hopefully fix this for you. You may need to run it a few times followed by a restart after each time.

Here's another thought, check if Show All Folders is checked.

[Superluigi6]

First of all, thanks for all the support. I'm just saying this because everyone here is very helpful

Brink's response
It just finished. There were corrupt files in the CBS.log, and will take effect in the next reboot which I'll do now.

Britton30's response
I'll have to try yours after reboot. Hopefully it's okay with you

Notice: when I try to save something/save as, it shows the navigation pane.

 

[Britton30]

Are the folders showing now?

 

[Superluigi6]

The folders are indeed showing, but I used brink's solution first, which helped.

Thank you Brink for the solution and Britton30 for also helping. And luckily I didn't have to do a System restore!

 

[Brink]

That's great news. Glad we were able to help.

 

[Britton30]

you're welcome.
