After walking across my keyboard I have this at bottom of screen every time I open IE. Which I have to exit out of.

It looks like Advanced webpage sourcecode.

How do I turn it off?
Which keys did my cat activate?

There's also an "X" button on the right. You can also click that.
Your cat is inspecting what you are doing. If you right click anywhere on the page and select "Inspect Element", that will come out too. But basically, your cat hit the F12.

Thanks for response WiFi Ed but it is still appears next time I open IE.
F12 is easier than mouse.

Clicking Restore in right corner unpinned it and
