Thanks Linda, thanks Clint, and thanks Roger (who responded in email). To Linda ... no, I am not in full screen view; F11 is not the issue here (but I always welcome your suggestions). To Clint ... operating system is Windows98
The problem with the browsers is solved. I just reinstalled both Netscape 4.79 and IE 6 (which I rarely use) ... the browsers look good. HOWEVER, I thought I had fixed the Exploring window (as Roger will attest to) but I am mistaken. It's a matter of configuration which I can't seem to solve. In addition to the Address Bar, I can get either the menu bar OR the Standard Buttons. What I want is to have the Address Bar, AND the Menu Bar (so I can easily get to "View, Folder options"), and at least, some of the standard button (like the "Up" one level arrow and the forward/back arrows). The "Up" one level arrow is a must for my purposes. That's the way it was when I newly installed the system and I'd like to configure it to be that way again. If I uncheck "Standard Buttons" all I get is the Menu Bar. If I check "Standard Buttons" I get the standard buttons but lose the Menu Bar. Question: How can I get both (or at least, the Menu Bar along with the "Up" one level arrow)?
