Problem with Windows Exploer

I have a problem I was hoping someone could help with.

When I open Windows Explorer (through WindowsKey-E, the Start Menu, or
from the windows directory), it doesn't show the menu bar, buttons, or
address bar, just the file list on the right and the folder list on the
left. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the menu bar
back, since there is no place to right click to get to any menus or
bars. Functionality otherwise seems fine.

Strangely when I click on "My Computer" on the desktop, everything
works fine, and I can get the windows explorer functionality by
clicking "Folders" under Standard Buttons, but I don't want to always
have to do that.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
