Are you talking about the picture of the Camcorder?

I will try and see how to remove it.

In windows explorer: tools - folder options - general tab - change the browse folders option to open each folder in same window instead of open each folder in new window

sorry - don't know then. My drive only shows 'find' in the advanced window but the other settings look the same.

Hope someone else can help...

Callumpy - it would seem others (google search) have your problem but it's fixable :)
Haven't needed to try this myself but 2 good sites offer advice. Let us know how you get on.
