Folders in Windows Explorer?

[Guest]

Somehow a friend managed to remove the Favorites, Homegroup and MY Computer
folders from Windows Explorer. Can any one tell me how to get that view
back?

Did you try going to "folder options" and click on "restore defaults"?

If you don't see the navigation pane on the left side of an open window,
click Organize, point to Layout, and then click Navigation pane to display
it.

I don't know about "My Computer," but the other items are controlled by
registry entries:

Libraries
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}\ShellFolder
"Attributes"=dword:b080010d ;enable
"Attributes"=dword:b090010d ;disable

Favorites
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{323CA680-C24D-4099-B94D-446DD2D7249E}\ShellFolder

Homegroup
