Sidebar problem

Hi
I'm having a problem with my side bar. Someone put some papers on my
keyboard and it ended up pushing some buttons on my keyboard and what it had
been doing was openoing the calendar function on my side bar. It added the
aplication about 150 times so everytime i restart my pc it tries to load the
calendare function 150 times resulting in my pc freezing. Once this has
happend there is no way of accesing any function in side bar. I have managed
to stop it starting on start up but how do i remove all those aplications so
I have use of my side bar again

Re: Sidebar problem

Hi,

You'll find the list of programs that are loaded in a settings.ini file in
this directory:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar

I would recommend backing up this file on the desktop before manipulating
the data in it.
