Hi again, and thanks for the advice, however, nothing happens when I
right-click on any menu, and Alt + V does nothing either.

I've taken a screenshot of the funky folders:

I may end up calling and paying the big bucks for tech support....  Still
thankful for ideas!

Why would you think that something in the registry is corrupted?

Your screen shot shows the Explorer window has a title bar at the top
called My Documents.

Your shot may be cut off at the bottom, but is your real problem that
you do not see the folder names on the right hand side (I don't see
any names under the thumbnails)? They could just be cut off in your
shot, but if the folder/thumbnail names are missing on the right hand
side, try this:

Select the folder(s) in question (like My Documents)

Go to View, select any of the other viewing options (such as List).
Now go back to View and press and hold the Shift Key and select
Thumbnails. You can hide or unhide the names using this procedure.

If that is not it, try to describe the problem again or get a better
screen shot saying what you don't see that you think you should see.
And it used to work, right?
