blue box on left of screen

[Guest]

I have a blue box on the left side of my desktop. It moved my whole desktop
to the right about 25%. This box has 3 drop down boxes:Folders,Other places
and other.
I do not know how this appeared, but would love to remove it. It does not
have any way to minimize it or drag it anywhere. I had to rearrange my icons
to find them all and now they cannot be moved either.
