If I understand correctly you are trying to make sure that your common tasks bar which normally sits on the  pane to the left of your windows is present. In order to enable/disable that follow the instructions below.

1. From My Computer or My Documents click on the Tools > Folder Options

2. Make Sure to check Common tasks in folders

Let me know if this solved your problem.
