Strange Windows Explorer icon flag centered in window
I recently noticed an icon centered in my Windows Explorer window. I've checked other machines and not seen this. Does anyone know why this is showing up and what it signifies?

I had just the Standard and Address toolbars showing. I unchecked the Address and the flag disappeared. I then unchecked the Standard as well and brought them back. The flag no longer appears. Strange. I wonder what made it appear in the first place?

Something quite funny to add:
I was tinkering around with an explorer window, moving toolbars around and locking/unlocking the toolbars to try to replicate the symptoms here (without immediate success) before I posted my answer. After posting the answer, I relocked the toolbars, and closed the window.
A few minutes ago, I reopened the window (from a shortcut), and saw the exact same centered Windows icon you described. I succeeded, apparently, in confusing Windows enough to duplicate the symptoms!
For the record, I was able to fix it by unlocking the toolbars and dragging the topmost toolbar (the Menu bar) upward.
