Yesterday I downloaded Symantec from WCU's website and suddenly this coloumn (sp) appeared in the left portion of my screen. It's white and has "Folder Tasks, Other Places, and Details listed as options. But I can't right'click the fucker away... I'll send screenshots if that will help.

you'd think it be from symantec then. best just go into it and check the options/preferences, i'm sure a bit of detective work could find it.

K, thanx for putting up with a 'tard but how do you take a screenshot? (I've always used the camera... where does the pic go then?

looks like you managed to turn on active desktop.

2/5/2006 10:53:20 AM

yeah, turning off active desktop should make it go away too, but if you want active desktop then use that program linked above

You mean fumble this? All you have to do is extract it and run. Then restart your comp.
