Thank you very kindly for terrific response.

Here is the contend of the RegKey.
I hope I got this right

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00021401-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\shellex\MayC
hangeDefaultMenu]

Thanks again

Hi manmeil0815,

There is surely a fix for this issue. Before that, can you post the contents
of this registry key?

[HKCR\CLSID\{00021400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\shellex\ExtShellFolderVie
ws]

Click Start/Run and type REGEDIT to access the Registry Editor. Navigate to
the above path and then use the File, Export option to save to REG file.
Open the REG file with Notepad and paste the contents here.

Hello you friendly helpers.
I'm running WIN-XP/SP2
My desktop has suddenly changed. On the left side of my 17" display. I have
a 3" column wich looks the column you see in a folder. On the top "Folder
Tasks" followed by "Other Places" and "Details". I have tried to get rid of
it, no luck. Windows "Help" of course, is no help. I can not right click on
it to get properties.
I would really appreciate, if anyone can help me.
Thanks very much in advance
