Can anyone advise how to access "File" , "Edit":, etc. when displaying a folder on screen. EG: The folder wjt<Documents<My Scans displays at the top ":Organize,Views,Open,Print, etc. but file, etc. are missing.

Have you tried "Right clicking" the file name?

To bring it back in Vista. Within Windows Explorer, you’ll see a button called Organize. Click the down arrow on this button and select the Layout option. Select the Menu Bar option so there is a check mark beside it. This feature is turned on when the check mark is present.
If this doesn't do it for you, you may have am earlier release, with a few updates missing, then you can do this:
1. Open an Explorer window such as ‘Computer’ or ‘Document’s from the Start panel.
(Alternatively, you can open Control Panel, click the Appearance and Personalization link, then click the Folder Options link.)
2. Click on the green Command bar Organize > Folder and Search Options.
3. On the Folder Options dialog, click the View (tab)
4. Under Advanced Settings then check the ‘Always show menus’ box
5. Click ‘OK’ to confirm changes.

And if you only want the Menu bar temporarily you can just tap the ALT key to make it appear. It then disappears again with another ALT or when you use one of the menus.
