Did you by any CHANCE drag the My Computer icon, or any other icon situated on the desktop, out of the screen?

You can CLOSE toolbars by pressing ALT + F4.

You can also right click on the toolbar and select close toolbar Quote

Mark:

You, or another user, have opened a folder and dragged the window to the right so that part of the folder is hidden.

To close the folder, click the icon at the TOP of the partially hidden window and select Close from the drop-down menu.
