Hi, someone please help me! My desktop is broken!! Theres
a menu on the left side of my desktop (common task menu I
think you call it, like the ones you have on the left
side of folders) and also, my quicklaunch menu is locked
(meaning I can't drag things into it and I also can't
drag things into my recycle bin!)

I've done nothing to do this! I just logged onto my user
account and there it was! What have I done? And how can I
return things to normal?

Thanks!
