Vista sidebars

[jimix5]

Hi folks,

Can anyone give me some advice, I've recently gone wireless on my new notebook.

Up until i connected to the net the vista sidebars were working well. I'm now getting a message saying that sidebars are managed by your administrator. I am the admistrator. It would appear that i'm classed as having a work group. Can anyone tell me how to change these settings and how to reactivate the sidebars. Please help.
