what is this

by boni777 Jun 24, 2009 9:09AM PDT

Quick, easy question: Lately, when I'm going from webpage to webpage to word and back, and I have them all stacked on top of each other, a little box, that is divided into quadrants and has an arrow in one, swoops in, and takes all of my stuff down to the task bar at the bottom.
Now, if I wanted them there, I would have put them there!...I know I must have turned on something, but not on purpose.

What did I do and how do I undo it?

Sounds like Spaces

Go to the System Preferences, Expose and Spaces and disable spaces.
Should do it.

Have you thought of using Tabs in your web browser rather than have pages stacked on top of each other?
Makes it easy to hop between each one.

In Safari, on the menu bar, go to View, Show Tab Bar
