I have Windows XP on my computer. When I click on a folder (not a file) the left side of the screen, a three-part blue screen, all with drop-down menus, opens up. The first part states File And Folder Tasks, the second part states Other Places, the third part states Details. I don’t like this screen. It takes up a lot of space on the screen. How can I get rid of this blue screen? Thank you. Murrar

I am not sure if I am thinking of the same thing you are talking about as I do not use that view, but if I am you can get rid of it by clicking on tools on the top toolbar of the folder, select folder options, then in the screen that opens, click on "Use Windows classic folders" and then click on apply or ok.

Please let me know if that is what you were talking about and if it takes care of it.

You are welcome. It should be there on any folders toolbar. Go to My Computer and click on tools there, It should be on the bottom of the tools list

I just remembered another way to access them, you can also get to Folder Options in the Control Panel.
