Small White Window on Desktop
I have a small window that opens up when I logon. This window is plain white
and does not have any way to close it.

If I right click on the window I get a tab, which opens another tab when I
run my pointer over it, which opens another tab when I run my pointer over
the second tab. Any time I left click on a tab nothing happens.

How can I get rid of this window. It stays on top and blocks everything. I
can move it around, so I put as far to the top as possible, but would like to
get rid of it.

Thanks for the help.

Have you tried running task manager to see what process or application may
be creating that window?

Run msconfig to see what programs start up at boot??

Also, have you tried an antivirus or spyware scan?
