I think this started after I updated my Windows media player but not sure.
My desktop now has a blue bar down the left side about 1/4 the screen
width. It has titles like "Folder tasks" and "Other Places" and "Details".
Each of these has a pull down to see whats in there. I cannot get rid of it
no matter what I fiddle with in the desktop properties!
Any help appreciated!!
Thanx all!

I had a similar problem when i installed an update for
windows. I could not find any settings to alter it, but I
used the System Restore utility to set the computer back
to before the update and it was fine.
 
Hi, Stewart.

This is the new Explorer Bar. Did you click the little x in the upper right
corner of the bar to close it?

The Explorer Bar is highly configurable. Click View, then hover over
Explorer Bar to see the context menu and explore the several options for
what to show in this bar, from Favorites to Folders. Even Encarta, if you
have that program.
