Common Tasks may not be the same, but it's what you get with XP.
Type: Enable Web Content in the search box in Help and Support and see
what results.

[[You can display hyperlinks to common tasks in the left pane of your
folder
windows. The links provide quick access to file and folder management
activities and other places on your computer, such as My Computer, Shared
Documents, and My Network Places. Windows displays these links by default,
so they may already be displayed in your folders. If they are not, you can
use Folder Options to enable this feature.]]
Start | Run | Type: control folders | OK |
General tab | Show common tasks in folders
[[Specifies that hyperlinks to common folder tasks and other places on
your
computer are displayed in folders. These links appear in the left pane of
the folder window.]]

Web View & Enable Web content in Folders in XP is Common Tasks.
Web View Bar Is Not Visible in a Folder Window
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;291102
[[The Web View bar (with Tasks, Other Places, and Details sections) may
not
be visible in a folder window, even though the Enable Web Content In
Folders
option is selected under Folder Options. ]]
That part of the KB Article is incorrect for Windows XP. The Web View bar
is called Tasks pane. Enable Web Content in Folders Options is Show
common
tasks in folders.

Hope this helps. Let us know.
