I had my screen sectioned with an application running permanently in it and have lost it, please can someone tell me how to get it to do that again? Thank you.
Hello, At some point a while ago I somehow mistakenly must have clicked on something in error and suddenly my Google Analytics programme (which is shown in by bookmarks at the top of the screen) was displayed in a section of the browser window to the left - the browser screen was split into two sections, with the google analytics program running in the left section and the right section was my regular browser window where everything ran as normal.
I have no idea how this happened, but love it and have come to really appreciate it. However I've just changed computers, operating systems and allsorts and now I've got everything back on track that window has sadly gone and I cannot find how to get it back. I've searched through every option I can find and cannot figure out how to do that again!
Can anyone help please? :-)

Whoops, brain fade. You might have been using Firefox's sidebar.
If you right-click a bookmark and choose properties, you should find a checkbox to open that bookmark in the sidebar. Is that closer?

I've accidentally discovered some settings to resize and move windows on a laptop running Windows 7 and these might also be applicable to your system. While viewing the page you want on the left, hold down the "Windows" key and tap the left arrow key. Repeat for the window you want on the right using the right arrow key. Does that create the correct effect?

Hi jscher200,
Thank you for your reply, sorry for the VERY late late response, but I have just figured out how to control this separate 'panel'. I find it really useful for monitoring Google Analytics in as it can just sit there running. It does have its limitations, as it's a limited size (you can't expand it to full screen view), so you can only ever see a vertical section of a website and need to scroll to look to the right or left, but I have the live view of people accessing my website running on there and if the numbers start racking up at any time, I can scroll to look and see what pages they are accessing, where they've been referred from, etc.
To get it to work, you save a website address in the Bookmarks Toolbar and when you can see it sitting on the toolbar at the top of the screen with its little icon, right click on it then click 'properties', then tick the box 'Load this bookmark in the sidebar'. The next time you click on this bookmark to open the website, it will load in this sidebar, which looks like a separate 'window' but is immovable. You can only have one sidebar application running at a time, but can change it by right clicking on the bookmark you want to load in there and it will then change to that one next time you click on that bookmark.
I hope this might be useful to others, as I asked for help with this on loads of forums and not one person knew that this existed - even really skilled techies!
