    If you have any software which is related to sidebar which you have installed in the windows, I would say that you simply uninstall that software from the windows, and then see that sidebar will be also removed.

    You can remove the sidebar, as you have installed the sidebar which has come along of the theme related software, so to remove that follow the following steps and the sidebar will be removed.
    • Go to the control panel
    • In that select the Add / Remove Programs
    • As you select that you will be able to get the window, in that you select the gadget software.
    • Then you click on the remove / uninstall
    • The software will be removed completely, so do a restart and see the sidebar is not there on the desktop.

    Try this step and I am sure you will be able to remove the sidebar.

    The solution is very easy, the sidebar is been know as the gadget bar in the windows, well in the windows XP it is not available you have to add the side bar by some sort of the software or any application which make the sidebar appear on to the screen, so I would suggest to remove the software or the application which you have inserted on to the windows of yours. The best and also good way is which I have seen and also worked for me to use to remove the sidebar from the desktop and also from the windows which you are using it.

    My friend, I want to tell that as far as I know that the only way to get clear of the Common Tasks from the desktop which is to change the registry key which are been created. So I would tell you clear the registry key of the system which are the extra and then see it will might work for you, as one of my friend have done the same and he was able to get ride out of it, so that is the reason I have suggested to you to follow it and try to do it.

    It is due to the software which you have installed to get the side bar on to the screen of the desktop and remove the software from the window is the best and proper option to do.
