Demystifying the unknown text box floating on the desktop…

Few times I noticed that there is a text box floating around desktop and there is no way to identify or trace by looking at it.

This is the text box….

So, how to find what is that box. Well, there is a utility in Sysinternals Tools called Process Explorer. You can use that to find out what is the process running.

So open up Process Explorer…Click & Drag the Bull’s eye icon to the running window. And it would point you to the process running behind that box.

And the process Adobe Reader. Just right click on the process & KILL IT. That’s it Smile 

Thank You!
