Hi all,

Sometime ago I started up my computer as normal and one of the windows explorer bars was attached to the left side of my desktop and I can't seem to make it go away. The explorer bar actually works like it would in explorer, except that clicking on a link will open the link in a new window instead of on the desktop.

I can't find anything about this on microsoft.com or any other help forum and I don't feel comfortable changing the registry without guidance.

Can someone help me to get rid of this exlorer bar, please? I can live with it - and have been - but I would like top get rid of it if possible.

I am running XP with SP2 installed, and I don't think that I had made any configuration changes before the explorer bar appeared, though I honestly can't remember.

I would also love to know why this happened.

Many thanks for any help.

Thank you very much. That little registry edit did the trick.

It's nice seeing the whole desktop again :cheesy:
