SharePoint Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for SharePoint enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.

1 of my user cannot select "Explorer View" from the scroll down menu on the right side of the window... Actually she sees NO views at all... I deleted her account from SharePoint and recreated it... Still no go...

From what I know I have no other users with this problem. I can see (but then again I'm admin)

I tried with many different folders and as you can see below there is nothing in the View box.

Any thoughts?

Possible reasons I can think of:

  1. It could be a master page issue. Did you switch over to the default master page and try again for the specific user?

  2. May be Internet Explorer issues. Did you check in other browsers on the same machine? Or with the same user in a different machine having different browser?

  3. May be the Internet Explorer version is an old one, like IE 6.0 and others are running on IE 7.0 and greater?

  4. Elevate the user's privilege to Site Owner and check if the view appears. If yes, then check the detailed permission of the user for that library.

  5. Is this issue for that particular library or list? If yes, save it as a template try restoring it in a different name and check that particular library again.

Good Luck.

The issue was the way the site was created.

I wasn't aware of it, but the way they made it, users cannot use the "views", they have to access Explorer through an other way.

The other way (that nobody mentioned) is once your are in a DocLib you can also access Explorer View through "Actions > Open in Windows Explorer" there it worked perfectly.

Thanks all for your time!!!
