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	Guest (0)

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.	Guest (0)
