Tour icon shortcut

[thndr8]

Came from the Pearl and have had the Tour for a few months now.  In the last few weeks, when selecting the menu button, a shortcut icon pops up instead.  It has maybe half a dozen icons that I normally use that are not on my front screen.  If the app I need isn't there , I'm stuck hitting ESC, then Menu, ESC, Menu, until it lets me in to select an icon that isn't on the front page.  It will also come up if I"m in any of my messages sometimes.  How do I shut this off?

After a second search, it's called the floating tool bar.   How do I shut this off?
