43735 2002-04-14 01:02:00 My mate has XP and on his desktop (and folders) he has this side bar thing, in a folder it would be View/Explorer bar - which you can set to folders, search etc. I tried his folder options (set all folders), searched his display settings & tried help but don't know exactly what it's called? No right click function on it?

Closed all apllications that I could but obviously it is part of XP.
In brief he wants his whole screen back and this takes up 20%.

Any ideas?
Cheers

But a web search for its removal found nothing.

43737 2002-04-14 21:03:00 I am running Windows XP and have not had this problem. Just had a quick look under View -> Explorer bar. Is the option under 'Explorer Bar' set to 'Folders'? Guest (0)

Any help?. In Netscape 6.2 at the extreme left are barely visible triangles that when clicked on expand or contract the Sidebar, is what you have the Windows Messenger equivelant?. Frank.
