Hello there, @Lotuspete.

 

Welcome to QuickBooks Community. Also, I appreciate you for adding a screenshot along with the details you've provided above. It's a big help to identify your concern right away.

 

Yes, there is an option for you to use a full screen in QuickBooks Desktop. The reason why it appears is that you're utilizing the Top Icon Bar feature or the Show Search field in the Icon Bar is checked, as mentioned by BigRedConsulting . 

 

To change it, follow these steps:

  1. Open your company file.
  2. Go to the Edit menu and select Preferences
  3. Click Search.
  4. Unchecked the Show Search field in the Icon Bar box under My Preferences.
  5. Then, OK.

If it still appears, you can also make sure the Hide Icon Bar option is selected under the View menu. Let's take a look at the sample screenshot below.

 

The icon bar offers quick navigation and access to the most commonly used features in QuickBooks. It helps you access to start any task. Anytime, you can also add or remove icons to customize which icons display on the icon bar. If you consider doing this in the future, select either Top Ion Bar or Left Icon Bar.
