Stupid Question!

Hi - Don't know whether there is an answer to this. As I look at my screen I see three columns. On the far left side there is a column that has several items including: "Search Support"; "Quick Links"; "Global Support Sites". It takes up about 20% of my screen and less room for reading the posts and responses. Is there a way to get rid of that column on the left? It only appeared recently, on my screen.
See, I said this was a stupid question!

    If you are in Frame Mode (default in preferences) you can resize the windows by dragging the collumn side. You con overwrite 95% of the Left collumn and resizes the other collumns to your liking.

    Right click on the left of the next frame inboard to the right and use the double ended arrow to drag to the left edge. Not a permanent fix because you must do it again, again .....

    Dell improvement! For some other reason or other!

    Not a stupid question at all; we've all asked it. Unfortunately, this is the result of "improvements" Dell made to these boards a while back. If you go to the User Comments board you will see plenty of comments about this.

    Thanks for the replys. I guess I will have to drag it to left then. Don't like that "improvement" Dell!

    The only stupid question is the question that is never asked.
    One can only hope to learn by asking questions, and the fine folks here are the very best source of information. They are not paid for their efforts, they come here on their own time to help others. They always come through!
