Solved Win Explorer search box on taskbar
A few days ago what appears to be a Windows Explorer search box appeared on my Task Bar, at the right-hand end. I didn't (knowingly!) put it there and I don't want it. There's no obvious way of unpinning it. Right clicking says I can cut or delete it, but the default on the box is "Libraries". Cutting or deleting could have disastrous consequences. Any suggestions?
Win 7 64 bit fully updated.
