dlhartmann Posted June 28, 2002 Author Share Posted June 28, 2002 On my desktop is a bar on the left side of the background. It is much lilke when I open the my documents folder in XP. It has expandable headed sections called Tasks, Other Places and details. It is called a common tasks bar. It is what shows a thumbnail and properties of files when you hover over an icon.This bar appears on my desktop and I cannot seem to get rid of it.Help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlhartmann Posted July 2, 2002 Author Share Posted July 2, 2002 I tried right clicking on it for the speed menu, but there was no response. I have also looked at the desktop settings to see if I had enable some kind of Web active desktop. But that wasn't it either. Please advise?

Aaron Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Your screenshot is too small to be seen, can you post the actual size instead of resizing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piaqt Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 The screenshot is small, but:It looks like the standard "my computer" view of any folder. Check your explorer settings. Or, right-click on the quicklaunch bar. Select "toolbars" and uncheck any you don't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
