Does anyone know how I can get rid of this white bar off of my desktop? It
runs from top to bottom on the right side.
 
Common Tasks?

Start | Run | Type: regsvr32 /i shell32 | Click OK |

Reboot.

This is concerning posts where the person is supposed to run a command such
as "regsvr32". It would be nice to have a one sentence explanation of why?

regsvr32 reregisters shell32.dll in the registry. Doing this can remove the
Common Tasks pane form the Desktop, if that is what the white bar is.
Apparently that straightens out
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00021400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\
shellex\ExtShellFolderViews\{5984FFE0-28D4-11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262}

I do not know if it fixes the PersistMoniker value so that it points to
file://%userappdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop.htt, fixes
Desktop.htt or what, but it works.

The string {5984FFE0-28D4-11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262} identifies either the
CLSID of the COM object responsible for the Web view mode and the Web view
service itself.

It probably still would be nice to have a one sentence explanation of why.
