    Focus box above search task bar


    Hi, I have this opaque box at the bottom of my desktop above my task bar. This is notepad opened so I could add arrows as the box is hard to see against any other color than white. When I hover a mouse over that area my session wheel spins. I cannot override the focus of the box so that part of my screen is now useless. Does anyone know what it is and how I can disable it?thank you Mike

    :)
