Please, use the "Improve question" widget, and try to give us more information.
I am sitting at a Windows XP PC and I have no menu of any form on the left of my screen.
What are you trying to do?

I think this is exactly what you looking for. Themed Windows XP style Explorer Bar[^]

Good luck.

Yes.
It is possible to add that kind of functionality to your application. However, you have to do the work yourself - there is no standard control for it.

First, create a new form
then:
A) add a splitter to the window.
B) On the splitter iteslf (not one of its panels) set Fixed Panel to the left hand panel, and set the width you want with the splitter bar. Then change IsSplitterFixed to true.

You can now put what you want in the panel to emulate the menu: probably LinkLabel controls mostly.
