    I had a folder shortcut in my menu title bar.

    I deleted or moved the folder, and now I have a shaded out grey ? in my all my folder window title bars, and I can't seem to kill it.

    I tried dragging it off. Nope. I tried to customize title bar. Nope.

    Thanks.

    Of course, it does not impact anything, but it's driving me batty.

    indeed...

    I just love the poof!!!

    Just kinda weird, everywhere else in the UI (dock, sidebar) you just drag things out with no modifier key... [​IMG]

    thanks...

    when you have things in the toolbar like that, you must use a modifier or actually open up the toolbar customization window and then drag it away, and then Poof again becomes an option.

    Xander -
    Thank you for posting directions to deleting those annoying question marks!
    I never thought I'd ever get rid of them - and it was so simple!
