    Can you describe it in more detail?

    Where does it pop up? What exactly does it say?

    Do you have SP2 & all Windows Updates?

    Does this relate to your issue:

    When this menu like item appears, can you right click on the text "My
    Documents," select Toolbars and uncheck "My Documents"? I ask this because
    your description sounds like a floating toolbar for My Documents.

    With a toolbar that has been configured to AutoHide, it would come into
    view whenever the mouse cursor passed over the area where the toolbar was
    hiding.


    Example: If you left click and drag the "My Computer" icon from Windows
    Explorer and drop it at the very edge of the monitor, a My Computer toolbar
    appears. It has a background similar to that seen in a right click menu and
    lists the same items you would see in a My Computer window. Right click to
    see the AutoHide, other configurable options and the "Toolbars" option
    where you can uncheck My Computer to remove the toolbar from the desktop.
