Window appears when I close a PS file

After I close a window in PS, a big window appears with all the recent files that I had open. I don't know how to get rid of it.

Also where is the lasso tool? It used to be in the selection tool.

Can you post a screenshot?

In the your preferences un-check auto show home then in photoshop click on the PS icon in the window showing what you have open in the past to turn off the home screen
