Solved Problem with Grey Box that Appears on Outlook

[BarNord]

First time posting here. Not sure this is the correct area. Must have clicked on something by mistake on Windows 7 and don't know how to get rid of it. In the lower area of Outlook (e-mails, inbox) an unwanted grey box appears. It says something about "connect outlook to online social networks". There is a figure at the top half of a person and lower down it says +add. On the right side there are 4 little icons to click (email, show attachments, show meetings, show status updates.)

How do I get rid of this unwanted box so that all my e-mails look normal and not pushed to the side of it?

Thanks,
Barbara

hi I see thread is marked solved. do you still need help on this issue? if so on the right side of the screen their should be a down arrow if you hover over it should say something like click to collapse people pane.
