    Viewing "Details" in Win 98 shows empty folder

    Something has happened with my Windows 98. If Folders are viewed with Large Icon, Small Icon or List--items can be seen. When selecting Details, though, the folder shows as empty.

    So I am not able to see file size, date, location, etc.

    Any thoughts??

    I dont know the actual solution, but i have an alternate method of viewing file size, date, location etc.
    You mightknow it and may have got confused.
    Anyways, here it is:
    Right click the folder of which you want details and click properties.
    All will there then.

    I got an answer from another forum. If the contents of a folder disappear when "Details" is the selected view, then do the following.

    Try opening Windows Explorer, left-click in the right pane to gain focus.
    Then press and hold the CTRL key while pressing the + key on the numeric
    keypad. This will expand the view options to the default settings.

    It worked!!

    Thank you for all the replies.
