When you click on the minimize button, it parks that screen on the task bar at the bottom of your screen. Click on it in the task bar and it will return. It allows you to have more than one session of Explorer open at one time and toggle between the two.

Thank you for your reply. But the problem is that when I click on the minimizer button it does not sit on the bottom of the task bar, it dissapears altogether so am unable to retreave  it back on screen.
