['Folder Tasks' section on Desktop?]

My friend has a wide blue section on his desktop. It say's folder tasks. With a list of make new folder-share this folder - below that my documents and my network plkaces. below that- desktop. I have seen this before but I can't remember how I got rid of it. I thought it was a simple thing untill it tried to get rid of it Can someone tell me how to do this? ,thank you.

 

Open any Explorer window and click Tools>Folder Options. On the General tab, select 'Use Windows classic folders' and click OK.

 

I tried that it won't let me open folder options except for "run as "

 

You lost me there. Sounds as though you went to the Control Panel and right clicked on Folder Options. Am I correct?

 

Yes I tried that too, and then the tools at the top checked use windows classic. it did not go away.
