I have gotten that a few times myself and only way i got rid of it was to create a new user and delete the old one

You shouldn't loose any programs ,at worse you'll just have to create some new shortcuts ,you can actuall go into c:\ documents and settings,your user name and backup your desktop and IE favorites ,documents and what ever else and copy them into the new username,and when you feel you have it all the same as now ,but with out the side bar delete the old username .Been there done that ,twice !!:)
