One of my desktop folders that I store misc downloads in has created a toolbar of itself on the left side of my desktop screen. How did it get there, and how do I get rid of it?

The folder toolbar was created when the folder was 'dropped' at the edge of the screen : http://www.5starsupport.com/ipboard/index.php?showtopic=7857

The best way to remove it is to right click the 'Taskbar,' go to 'toolbars,' and then put a check mark before "Desktop." The word "Desktop" will appear in your Taskbar at the right end. Use the >> arrows to pop up the menu, right click the offending toolbar and select "Delete."

Careful!! Make sure that it is empty of data first!! All right click options should be available inside the toolbar as it now stands.
