I have a table pc and when I orient my screen in tablet mode, desktop icons
get placed under the sidebar. To access them, I have to turn the sidebar on
and off. Is there anyway to prevent desktop icons from being positioned
under the sidebar for table pc users?

Rightclick the sidebar icon in the Notifications area, then properties.
Check the "Always on top" checkbox. Another possibility is to Not
'auto-arrange' icons, and drag them where you want them (in the 'view'
setting of a desktop rightclick menu)

I appreciate the quick response but the "always on top" blocks too much of
the active screen area. Actually, I have found that "auto arrange" on the
desk top works fairly well but then I have very limited access to how to
arrange my icons. I was hoping Vista would recognize this situation and
"self-adjust" accordingly. Probably a bit much to ask of Microsoft. Thanks
again.
