No it is not supposed to do that. Right-click on the "Computer" icon in the taskbar and select the "Unpin From Taskbar" option. It should disappear then.

If you want it back on the Desktop instead, go to the Start Orb and select the Computer listing and right-click on it and checkmark the "Show On Desktop" option.

That's your Windows Explorer folder which is part of libraries. It loads as a default of Windows 7.

Why is is bothering you or something?

Yes because that means one of my library folders (Computer) is opening at start when its not meant to.

As Nibs said, that is a shortcut to windows explorer and the libraries.

If you want a plain view like this, click on Organize>Layout and un-check all the options particularly the Navigation option.

Hi yodap, yes understand the view but I have Computer folder opening minimised in explorer at each startup, first pic at startup second pic (after I manually close Computer) so my question is why is Computer opening at start and can I stop this from happening ?. My Brother has Windows 7 and Computer folder does not open upon his startup.

I'm sorry, I misunderstood the problem. I'll search some things and see what I can find.
