Question * History Panel *

Hi All:

This just started today, the History panel to the left of the screen opens and I can't seem to be able to find where to get it to stop.

I went to View, Explorer Bar and unchecked History, but it keeps coming back.

I tried unlocking Toolbar, closed the History panel by unchecking it, rebooted, but nothing has worked for me so far.

I'm tired of having to click the X or unchecking History to make it go away.

All help will be very much appreciated, and thanks ahead of time,

Bill Lane

WinXP Pro, IE 6.0

I've just seen one other instance of this very peculiar behavior, read this and see if it applies to you.

Try simply pressing control + H if the bar is still there, then exit out of IE and open it up again.

Hi Statica & ryan124712:

I really didn't understand what they were trying to tell me to do at the link that Statica directed me to.

I tried what ryan124712 suggested, but it was still there.

So I ran System Restore from 4/27/06, and everything is back to normal.

I don't see how or what caused the settings to change, I have AdAware, SpyBot, AVG Free edition, MS AntiSptware, Reg Cleaner, Spyware Doc., and I Defrag once a week.

I keep everything up to date.

Anyway, thanks for the input, it's really apprecited !!!
