From: JimL on 21 Dec 2009 11:14 XP Pro SP3 While I was setting up my wireless connections something popped up and said I had to turn on folder tasks (probably not the exact wording) in order to do something. Now I have these big blue boxes showing on the left side of all my classic folders and want to get rid of them. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and can you help me turn these things off? -- For most of us the most danger is most politicians. JimL

Pull down the View, if there is a Layout entry, click on it and configure the Layout till your heart contend. ;) Jack (MS, MVP-Networking).

Apparently I didn't do a good enough job of describing these things. Two things stand out: The color BLUE in large quantities, like in the non-classic formats in XP and the word TASKS. I said the blue box was on the left. Perhaps I would better say blue block. And the clickable Tasks in this block are in a white on blue font. What I didn't say is that it fills the exact same space where you normally get the folder tree if you click the Folders button. In fact if I click the Folders button the tree comes out and exactly covers the big blue box with Tasks at the top. Thanks -- For most of us the most danger is most politicians. JimL
