Strange thing on desktop

Okay this thing has appeared on my desktp. It was in the top right corner but ive moved it out from there. I've got no bloody clue what it is, so im going to run some anti-spyware software and see if that helps. Anyone have any ideas?

After youve run anti spyware programs and such, have you tried just logging off and on or restarting the computer ?

If you can move it around, perhaps you can close it from the Task Manager ?

Its been there for a few weeks now. I dont know what process it is so can't close it using the task manager.

never seen anything like that, can you right click and delete it? if you can but it wont delete and gives you an error message there is an 'unlocker' program.

Right clicking or left clicking it does nothing.

Looks like a floater bar. the bottom windows bar in xp sometimes goes crazy and reloactes bits, expecciley if you have a weird resoultion. I would use a windows cd and do a quick repair install (not a reformat, just repair). My money is that it would be fixed. Also a quick possible fix is just messing with your display resolution.
