    Text box appears over File Explorer while scrolling long lists


    This text box never shown itself before and I didn't modify or install anything new on my computer, so, what could have caused it to appear?

    See where it says New Text Document - Copy (13)? as I scroll up and down this text box changes to the next number. What is a modification to remove the text box?

    You didn't show all the Explorer on the image but it seems that you created a New folder and paste many copies of same New Text Document on it.
    Why don't you just delete the New folder with all the copies of same New Text Document on it?

    Turn off "Show pop up descriptions for folder and desktop items" in Folder Options

    I agree with Hearsepilot So here's a pic of how to do what was suggested.

    Already tried that. Maybe I will try again with a restart.
