| | Sidebar no longer loads I guess this has been asked many times here but I unfortunately can't find anything in the earlier posts. Sidebar on my machine has been working fine for quite a long time but today it will not load. I have rebooted the machine, checked the Sidebar properties in Local Group Policy where "Turn Off Windows Sidebar" is set to Not Configured (have also tried setting this to Disabled) but still no joy. How do I get it back? Jan |

| | Re: Sidebar no longer loads Type "sidebar" in the start menu search field, and click the executable for the sidebar that comes up on the Startmenu. Go to the "Start BAr Properties" and check the box "Start Sidebar when Windows Starts".
