For some reason, I now have an ugly folder pane on my desktop...
Now I have nothing against it personally, but it is hiding some of my background which I really like...
I have had a good look around and I can't find the offending setting to get rid of it...does anyone know??

Oh yeah, and I can't open the folder properties in control panel either...


Many thanks in advance

485350 2006-09-18 09:42:00 Try this fix to remove the common task pane off the desktop: see here (www.dougknox.com) Jen (38)
485351 2006-09-18 10:33:00 Try going to the Classic look, and if you don't like that, revert back to your existing look and see if that cures it:

Start | Settings | Taskbar and Start Menu | Start Menu | Classic Start Menu.

485352 2006-09-18 11:14:00 Have you tired ;eft clicking, holding down and dragging the pane? It works for the my computer pane.... Erin (10571)
485353 2006-09-18 21:19:00 Thank you Jen!!!

I tried to find something like that for ages!!!

Now I have a nice clean desktop!!!

I had tried the classic mode view and back again and also to try and move it using button holds etc...

That little download worked a treat!!

Thanks again Jen and all those who took time to look and ponder...
