Unsolicited e-mail is not answered. "Frenchy" wrote in message ... Friend with XP Pro has suddenly (he knows nothing as to why it happened) a 2" wide white bar down the left side of screen, with "Folder Tasks", "Other Places" and "Details" in drop boxes. Note this is virtually the same as what you see to the left when you open My Documents folder. I have a suspicion he may had renamed My Documents folder at some stage, but he denies everything grin It is there on the desktop and has pushed the whole of the rest of the desktop and icons off the page to the right. The white bar has no handles or any means to move/minimise or right click on it. It is there as soon as the desktop appears. Any help on how to remove? -- Frenchy Replace "invalid" in address with co.nz |
