Turn off window minimize / close glyphs in drawing space

[bharder]

Does anyone know how to make these controls in the upper right corner of the drawing space go away?  I'd rather they be outside the drawing space, so that I don't accidently click on one of them while working in a drawing.

You can't, each DWG file in the AutoCAD program is its own window, literally.

Thanks.  There must be some setting somewhere though because on some computers the controls show up in the drawing area and on others, the controls are part of the "window" frame rather than in the drawing space.  Hmmm...

I don't know what your partial screenshot is supposed to show, I do not recognize the bottom half at all.

Show me a full program screenshot at the same resolution as your monitor please.

See this full screen screenshot.  At this computer, the controls are where I'd like them; off the drawings space.  On other computers, they are IN the drawing space instead which is not good (in my opinion).  Something must determine where they show up.  I just can't figure out what.  A variable?  A setting?  Maybe something completely outside of AutoCAD such as a Windows setting.

I found the answer.  Turn on menubar.

You are also running add-ons and features most of us are not (and none of us are running MENUBAR on either), see the two color arrows, most likely a contributing factor.

Thank you.  I'm well aware of the customization.  That's the beauty of AutoCAD is it not?  Menubar solved the mystery.  Thanks again.
