OK, the problem had to do with the Accessibility Options High Contrast
appearance, for which I've been using the white text/blue background
combination. Somehow windows had "forgotten" it was the High Contrast
combination, which in IE as well as WE overrides any folder colors or
background image. I just chose another combination and then back to my
preferred one, clicked OK, and everything now is as it should be. -emf
