So i forgot to sign my name on something so real quick i opened up paint. I went up to file and then hovered over open. I pressed open. The open bar was still their. I closed out of paint and on my desktop the bar that says open is still on my screen!
If you haven't fixed it already (or for future reference)... Press ctrl+alt+delete and find the process called explorer.exe, right click it and choose "End Process". Then go to File, New Task (Run...), type "explorer.exe" then cilck OK. Should do the trick.
