Folders View on desktop won't go away

for whatever reason & how I do not know BUT, I can NOT make it go away BUT,
now when you are looking at the desktop - there is a folders view option pane
visible just like in your folders BUT, I did not activate this or want it - I
did do to my computer & open the folder options menu to make sure NOT to run
this & it is NOT running in any folder OR program JUST "only" on desktopv - I
have checked through appearances & taskbar type options - I can not find out
why this will NOT go away now -- I am an expert with windows BUT, have NEVER
had this problem before --- in any case, I just want a normal looking desktop
