    The only thing I can think of is go to the Folder options and reset all the defaults and see if that rectify's the problem.

    Try clicking on the button that says Folders, beside the Search button. That usually toggles the Folder view and the toolbar that you have missing.

    In windows explorer (my documents if you like) Click on Tools --> Folder options. On the general tab you should see Tasks, make sure that the show common tasks in folders option is highlighted. Then click apply, then ok and hey presto, you should have yur common tasks options back again.

    iPirate, you should just be able to switch back to category view. The same panel the original poster said he was missing has that option when you open the control panel.

    BTW, if you want to only capture the active window then paste it into a paint program, press ALT + PrntScrn. That way you don't have to have the entire screen.
