Altering the view on certain screens!

[moggie 939]

I recently had to go back to factory settings and put everthing back on! It has taken me three days and I have solved most problems except:

On certain screens suxh as My Docs, My Computer, Controls, My Favorite etc, when I open the screen all the info is there as usual - but to the left of each screen there is a blue 'box' top to bottom of screen showing file and folder tasks and other options. This was never there before and I always had a full screen view.

Try as I might I can't find a way to remove this blue part.

Thank you
