    Missing Explorer Ribbon.


    I have no explorer ribbon and not sure what happened to it. Been rather busy lately with other things, so maybe it was never there on install and didn't take notice... not sure. I just know it's not there now. Any help greatly appreciated.

    "maybe it was never there on install and didn't take notice..."

    99.9% unlikely. Ribbon not there in this screenshot. Click the drop down on top and uncheck where I have 'minimize ribbon' and it will show at top.

    CTRL+F1 is definitely the easiest way to control this, thanks @Garyw

    Hmmm seems I have no quick access... I do recall changing the option from opening explorer to quick access.... to open This PC. When I change it back to quick access it doesn't appear to do anything and of course there is no drop down menu on the left side for that option and no arrows up/down on right side of explorer either.

    I did do a bunch of Black Viper tweaks... would anything in there possibly effect this?

    Created a new user account and the ribbon and quick access function fine over there. Arg.

    Figured it out. Was thinking it might have been the custom theme I bought, so switched to the new account I made and when I went to install the theme, it mentioned needing to install oldnewexplorer and that's when I remembered the settings inside about switching to command bar instead of ribbon.

    Now if only I could figure out why folder refresh is broken. It didn't work in the new account either. Sucks pressing F5 all the time.
