I can't see how to close the CodeExplorer area and remove it from my
IDE.  What's the secret?

Have you tried clicking on the "Close window" button (in the title
bar) or just plain old Alt+F4?

Thanks, but I'm darned if I can find a Close window button specific to
the CodeExplorer (it has no title bar that I can find either).  And
Alt+F4 closes the whole IDE for me, not just the Code Explorer. 

I'm thinking that maybe it just can't be removed, only resized to
become invisible within the IDE window.

1.7 is rather old. Upgrade first.

Are you running AnchorDocking or something like that? You should
mention if you do.

If so, then maybe you locked or hidden the window headers?
Tools > Options > Environment > Docking: Show Headers.

Or if you have tabbed docking, right click the tabs  (not the source
editor tabs, only tabs related to docking)
