1. holy moly
can you take a screenshot?

I have no idea what this would even look like, so I have no idea what may have happened to cause it.

2. Sounds like it might've gotten dragged up as a toolbar.
Right click on your taskbar, go to Toolbars, uncheck "My Documents".

3. Thank you! You're the best!
How do you think it got that way in the first place? I don't screw around with toolbars at all...

4. Glad that was it. If you accidentally drag a folder to the edge of the screen...

Windows interprets it as you wanting to create a toolbar out of the folder. You probably did it without noticing maybe?

5. Well, "My Documents" is on the upper left corner of my screen, but
I am not in the habit of dragging it anywhere. So while that is possible, it seems unlikely. However, ya never know.

Thank you again. I can't believe I didn't think of that, but then I am an "old" person, so I have an excuse!
