Only a restart used to fix it (killing explorer.exe wouldn't) but I just found out another way: hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete to get to the black logon screen, then click Cancel to get back to the desktop. In my case, the white bastard was gone! This trick tends to fix a number of weird graphics glitches like that and I was aware of it for a while but didn't think to apply it to the white box issue.

"hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete to get to the black logon screen, then click Cancel to get back to the desktop. In my case, the white xxxxxxx was gone!"
That worked for me. Will probably reoccur but at least I can kill it now.
The box disappeared while the commands are executing, not always at a fixed moment.
Thus, I put these commands in a batch file, make a link to the desktop, and make it to run as administrator. Next time, when the box appears, I just click on the link, allow it to run as administrator. Then I minimize it, and get back to my work.
I will try the Ctrl+Alt+Delete next time.
No clue what causes it. But all the computers I am using have the same issue.
