    The Drawing Explorer may have gotten moved off-screen somehow. It may come back into the available display area if you change display resolution in the Windows control panel.

     Thank you for your reply. Indeed, it does look like the drawing explorer has moved out the screen. However, changing resolution did not the trick. I also removed one screen, unfortunately this did not work. Any other ideas?

    Follow Patrik's link to Roy's excellent contribution. It WILL resolve your issue.

    The attached LISP will allow you to reset window locations for individual dialogues such as Explorer, Open File, Settings. It also includes an option to reset ALL windows. It works by deleting the related registry value, BricsCAD will recreate this value with defaults when you next run the command.

    With the advent of WORKSPACEs it would seem to me for consistency that these windows positions should be save there rather than in the registry. This is already the case for Toolbars and Palettes (see Post #13 on this topic for details on how to get these back on screen if they're missing).

    I am trying to download Jason's Lisp (note: I am logged in) and I am getting a 'Access to the requested resource has been denied' message.
