From http://forums.techguy.org/t113867/s.html The problem of the Grayed out Explorer Folders Pane has been traced to a single registry key. This one: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{EFA24E64-B078-11d0-89E4-00C04FC9E26E}\InProcServer32 The Default value for this key points to the file which builds the Explorer Band. That file is either Shdocvw.dll or Browseui.dll. The file varies according to which version of Internet Explorer is installed. If this entry is not correct, the Pane will not be built. Internet Explorer 5.5 uses Browseui.dll All other Internet Explorer Versions use Shdocvw.dll Using a registry file and merging that file into the registry can repair the problem on all versions except IE 5.5. There is a load more info there but this should set you right.
