Default File Open doesn't display all directories (List vs Details)

When in Excel, choose File, Open - when in 'LIST' view, I do not get all my
subdirectories displayed. When the view is changed to 'DETAILS', all the
subdirectories are displayed. Changed back to "LIST" view, and
subdirectories go missing again. However, when in Windows Explorer, all
subdirectories are correctly displayed. What is causing this? And how to
fix? (Windows 2000 with Office 2000 installed, all service packs installed).

Oak,

Could it be you need to scroll? Look for both horizontal and vertical
scroll bars.

No. That's not the problem. When in 'List' view, I see (for example), the
subdirectories of Timesheet, Projects, To Do Lists, Pictures and Word Files.
In the 'Detail' view, I'll see subdirectories Timesheet, Projects, To Do
Lists, Pictures, Word Files AND Newsletters, Inspection Requests, Map Images,
and PC Repairs.

Now, it appears that when doing "File, Open", in Word 2000, it is reacting
the same way that Excel 2000 - certain subdirectories are not showing unless
I change the view to 'Detail'.

I'm suspecting that Office 2000 is now the culprit?

- I have just tested File, Open in Access 2000, it is responding the same as
Word and Excel now. What's going on?!

Oak,

I dunno. Sounds as if something isn't working right -- I don't think you've
missed anything or done anything wrong. Try rebooting. Just this morning,
one of my audio editors wasn't in the Start menu, and I didn't see its
folder in C:\Program Files. I'd just used it yesterday. After a reboot,
all was back again. Very weird.
