Windows 2000 "Tile Windows" Question--simple one

[hamneggs]

Hi, I can't figure this out..you know how when you minimize a screen and then u see the icon down at the bottom that you can click on to maximize the screen.

Well, my whole list of stuff that used to be on the bottom of my screen is now on the side of the screen.

The "tiles" I think that you are called (the little icons that you see on the bottom of your screen are stituated like this:

-
-
- see what I mean they are on the side of the screen
-
-
-


I like it when they are like this:

in the middle of thes screen


- - - - - - - - - - -

Anyone know how to change this? Should be a simple click..ok ok I know that i can use the help function on Windows.

Another thing that baffles me is that I can't see the url of the website that I am visiting at the top of my screen. It disappeared some time ago and I haven't seen it since. Thanks

try to drag the sidebar to the bottom, that should correct the problem.

As for the URL box. In IE, go to View - Toolbars - Address Bar. Address Bar should be unchecked, so just click on it and it should reappear.

It's called a toolbar. To bring it to the bottom you "drag and drop". (i.e. click on the toolbar, hold the left button down and bring the pointer to the bottom).

Hope that helps.
