    How do I hide/remove this strange toolbar drag tab?


    Windows recently updated itself and when it restarted I found this on my taskbar:

    There is another one next to my iTunes toolbar. I believe this is some kind of tab used to move toolbars around but it does nothing if I click and drag.

    Now its obvious that this isn't an urgent problem but I would be grateful if someone could tell me how to hide or remove it since its only taking up space.

    Thanks,

Hi. Is there an easy way (setting, registry key, etc.) to remove the default toolbar on Explorer windows (the one with Organize, Share with, Burn, etc.)? It's just in the way since I never use it. Thanks.
