I dont know how it happened but I have some kind of sidebar on the desktop. It looks like it has shifted the whole desktop to the right.
It is blue and has 3 sections to it:
Folder Tasks
Other Places
Details

How do I get rid of it and get the desktop back to normal?

I have a screen cap if anyone wants to see it. how do I post a picture here?
THANKS

As seen here:

side bar desktop

This is the suggested solution:

Remove Common Tasks from Desktop. This small VB Script utility will modify
the System Registry to remove Common Tasks from your Desktop.

THANKS alot, that did it.
I guess these OS's have things that just pop up out of no where. Its sad that we dont have more control over what it does and how it works.

Thanks again!
