Question about 'Get Rid of the My Computer Icon'

I have a question about Get Rid of the My Computer Icon:

Rather than make up new icons and have a blank space on your desktop, drag the my computer icon to the side of the screen, where it will become an automatically hidden menu. then, it is out of your way, but if you need to access it, you roll over it and it pops out.

Now how do I get rid of the hidden menu, which isn't really hidden? (Win XP)

That didn't work. But I got rid of it by disabling the My Computer Toolbar. Sorry to hear about your hand. Probably rough operating the mouse with left hand.
