Desktop...

[Neil Stickland]

Can someone please help as I've run out of ideas! I have
a blue panel permanently displayed down the left side of
my desktop which covers my wallpaper. It's a standard XP
display with headers 'Folder Tasks','Other
Places'& 'Details', all of which have drop down menus. My
chosen icons are displyed vertically adjacent to this
panel,& I cannot click & drag them anywhere (I originally
had them along the length of the screen.

This is probably a simple issue to resolve but nobody I
have asked has a clue!! Would greatly appreciate some
advice...

Cheers
Neil

Possibly due to a correct Registry setting which causes the Common Tasks pane appears
on the WinXP Desktop.

Try Doug Knox's registry tweak

Do you have the toolbar locked, by chance?

Right click on the Start Bar - in an empty space on the bar>See if there is
a checkmark beside "Lock The Taskbar" - if there is, click on it to remove
it. Try to move the item again....Let us know.
