    All of a sudden I have a My Comupter *drop up* menu on my taskbar near my system tray. I didn't intentionally do anything, it was just there. How'd that happen?

    Actually, I don't mind having it there, but it's nice to know I can turn it off. How would I do it on purpose?

    This probably what you must have done.

    Right click taskbar -> Toolbars-> New toolbar(If computer option is not already there.)-> Computer.

    To turn it off - >

    Right click taskbar ->Toolbars-> uncheck computer option.
