File system display problem

Right clicking START on the Win ME desktop, then clicking EXPLORE doesn't produce the customary display of the entire PC file system tree, including all drives, etc. Instead it displays a STARTUP panel that offers a selection to get me into the file system inconveniently through the "back door", only one drive displayed at a time on screen. I've searched in vain for a way to change this behavior to display the entire file tree as is customary, but haven't found it. I've used other installations of ME that haven't misbehaved this way. Does anyone know what needs doing? A registry tweak?

Can you post a screen shot? When did this first start?

I recently acquired this PC from someone else, and it was behaving the way I described the first time I tried to view the directory tree. It is not in my home, so will take a day or two to get a screen shot.
