TheTerrorist_75 Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Right click your taskbar to toggle toolbars on and off. I'm not sure if the name of that one is Desktop toolbar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blim Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 OK, I got curious (for some reason the strange questions fascinate me...) and I think my DummiesBook says this is the Desktop Toolbar: "A weird one, this option places the icons from your desktop onto your taskbar". And according to the DummiesBook, if you right click the bottom taskbar, you see an option at the top of the box that says "toolbars". I'm not about to play around with mine but I'll betcha someone clicked that toolbar link and created that sidebar. I couldn't tell from your photo, Bryan--do you have the taskbar at the bottom of your screen also?? If you don't, then someone dragged that to the side (my naughty Son loves to do that to me..grrr...) I think you can click and drag it to the bottom of the screen where it is supposed to live (not sure, I holler and make Son put it back!).Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
