Locking sidebar(s) in XP?

February 21, 2009 12:30:42 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

This is going to be difficult to word...  Quite recently, it seems that nothing is able to restrict the area of my desktop. That is, I have tried a veriety of sidebars and they fail to reserve their part of the screen, maximized windows no longer maximize to their edge, but rather fully under or over them . The only way I can remedy the problem, is to switch resolution a couple of times, which is quite irritating. I am using XP home with sp3, I also have running object dock (free version) fences and windowblinds 6.

 

Can anyone think of a remedy for this situation?

 

Thanks.

What sidebars are you using?

I've used Desktop Sidebar before and I though it had opitions as to where it would reside, (normal, desktop, always on top and autohide).

I've tried Thoosje sidebar, Desktop sidebar, Google sidebar, I even tried the vista sidebar that someone ported/hacked to xp. Neither  of them will reserve their own screen space. I have tried adjusting the display settings in each of them, but like I said, the only thing that works is changing my screen resolution, which I really don't want to do every time I start windows.
