That's a very strange set of options, and nothing like what I see for
regular icons or whatever. But since it doesn't have a Delete option,
you should clear the selection of "Always on top" if you ever see it
again, then close the toolbar, and check your Startup menu for anything
that looks related. If you find something there, delete it. (OOo's
QuickStarter could be there, but you can easily live without that or
reinstate it through Tools > Options.) This looks like something that
would once have pointed to the installation files -- either the
downloaded file, or the interim files set up for installation. But the
normal OOo installation (downloaded from www.openoffice.org) does not
use toolbars at all, so this is unique to wherever you got OOo, and I
really wish you'd tell us where that was. You may find other anomalies
as you use the program, and we may not be able to help. In any case,
further questions really belong on the "users" list
([email protected]) rather than here.
Good luck with the root canal!

I right clicked on the banner and a menu dropped down:
View
open folder
Show Text (Check marked)
Show Title (Check marked)
Close Toolbar
----------------------------
Toolbars
----------------------------
Always on top (Check marked)
Auto \-Hide (Check marked)
See picture attached. I clicked on Open Folder and got the following
error message:
C:\Documents and Settings|Clancy\Desktop\OpenOffoce.org 3.2(en-US)
Installation Files refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be
on a hard drive on this computer or on a network. Check to make sure
that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the
Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be
located, the information might have been moved to a different location.
I went back and clicked on Toolbars and the banner went away. Temporary
or permanent I will find out later. I will try again tomorrow evening
after I recover from a tooth root canal surgery in the morning at 10:45.
They say it is painless except to your pocketbook! :-)
Thanks everyone for your help,
Clancy

Somebody suggested right-clicking on the banner and checking its
properties. But if you don't answer our questions or provide other
information, like a screenshot in some location we can look at
(these
don't make it to the list as attachments), there's very little we
can do
to help.

Yes, that's a banner. But I've never seen it, and nobody else on
the
list has mentioned it, either. Where did you get the initial
copy?
Where
did you get the replacement download? What was the full file name
of
the
downloaded file?

In reply,
I got the automatic notification of the update and downloaded
it.
I call it a "Banner" as it is a big wide stripe over an inch
tall
across
the top of my computer desk top screen that blocks out any thing
up there
that says "OpenOffice.org 3.2 (en-US) Installation".

Ordinarily, we
either download when we're ready to go to a new version, or get
an
automatic notification of an update and follow through from
there
--
but
in neither case is there any "banner" involved.

I could not find any way to contact OpenOffice.org so I went
into
the
documentation that came with OO 3.2 that showed some
connection
to
Oracle
so I called their help line. The second supervisor gave me
the
e-mail
address I used. I did not receive an e-mail about the
upgrade.
It was
a pop up like Microsoft uses when they have an update for you
to
download.
Clancy
P.S. The banner is still there on my desktop!!!

Where did you get OOo? This is not at all standard behavior, so
the
users here are going to have a hard time helping you.
