RIGHT COLUMN gone, expand CENTER COLUMN?

I removed the RIGHT COLUMN but I can't figure out how to expand
the CENTER COLUMN to take the space of where the RIGHT COLUMN
would be. Please help.. I just can't figure it out. Thanks

Did you set this in the admin > config > layout settings > Column Right Status - Global > set to "0"

Yes, Column Right Status - Global = 0

You have apparently edited or replaced a file as looking at your source this is what is there and I have highlighted what is not standard and then posted what is

    <td id="navColumnOne2" class="columnLeft" style="width: 150px"><div align="right"><img src="http://cowspotbeads.com/catalog/includes/templates/classic/images/breadcrumb_star.jpg" width="30" height="20"></div></td>
    <td valign="top"><div id="navBreadCrumb">  <a href="http://cowspotbeads.com/catalog/">Home</a> :: 

Swarovski
</div></td>
    <td id="navColumnTwo2" class="columnRight" style="width: 150px"> </td>

Here is what this should be:

<td id="navColumnOne" class="columnLeft" style="width: 150px">

This is most likely in your tpl_main_page.php file

Thanks.. what file is supposed to be edited for this?
includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_main_page.php?

<td id="navColumnOne" class="columnLeft" style="width: <?php echo COLUMN_WIDTH_LEFT; ?>"><div align="right"><img src="http://cowspotbeads.com/catalog/includes/templates/classic/images/breadcrumb_star.jpg" width="30" height="20"></div></td>
<td valign="top"><div id="navBreadCrumb"><?php echo $breadcrumb->trail(BREAD_CRUMBS_SEPARATOR); ?></div></td>
<td id="navColumnOne" class="columnRight" style="width: <?php echo COLUMN_WIDTH_RIGHT; ?>"> </td>

Still doesn't seem to be doing anything. Any other ideas?
Thanks for your time.

I've so been trying to avoid asking but can't believe it is so hard to find after many hours. Not even in the expensive zen manual.......here goes...

Where do I change the center column width? The manual says it can't be done in the admin or the style sheet....but offers no solution.

If I eliminate the right column, change the layout size to "0" for the right column, shouldn't the center column expand to fit the size of my wrapper?

Question also: what other names are there for "center column" as I've searched for an answer under every possiblity.

yes....i did mention that above

in three places in the admin layout for column width, right box width and global

this is a test run of the new 1.3.8a

cant recall how i did it before

Kobra, thanks for the quick replay...i did miss that global setting. Thank you...it is working just fine now. Odd, that my rightbox went back to the default somehow as well...but everything is working now.

Just a re-cap for anyone having this trouble.

I went on a merry chase through the code because the manual said that it couldn't be done through the control panel...but, it can;

Ref: ZenCart Manual pg 245 I believe I misread this as it states the center column can not be turned off. It does not explain that by turning off the right or left column it will expand to fill the space so need not be altered through the code.

however, i must have had two tabs opened in IE to the Admin and changed one setting on one and one on the other so that they knocked each other back to the default.

To do the trick, simply changing the right or left column width to "0" in

admin > config > layout settings > Column Right Status - Global > set to "0"
admin > config > layout settings > Column Width - Right> set to "0"
