Help! New Icons

I am operating Windows XP with SP2. Recently the icons for all my programs
have started appearing down the left hand side of my computer screen. This
just started happening. I have no idea why and it is not a feature that I
want to have. They are very large and very bright and appear one above the
other down the whole side of the monitor.

Could someone tell me why this has started to happen and how I can shut it
off, please?
