I have tried looking in nearly every script with names that include ‘header’ or ‘menu’. I still can not find it.
A simple forum search reveals several threads with at least 2 solutions mentioned.

My apologies. I’ve just been so frustrated with searching I have given up on it for the moment. Thank you, LenK. However, forums exclaim the cause is a missing blog title. I do not wish to use a blog title as I have placed my own image in the header. How would I work around that?
Edit: I would also like to remove it completely.
I also would like to know where to modify the menu & it’s links where ‘Write’,’Manage’,’Design’, and ‘Comments’ is.
Hey, I had the exact same problem – but the minute I named my site (in the settings tab, it was fixed. Give that a go… it frustrated me for a while there… but now it’s all honky dory 🙂

How? By reading ALL the resources offered. Hit #5 in the search result that was given to you:

I don’t have a blog title either – I removed the script from it in my header.
Well that still leaves this unanswered:

@moshu – That forum didn’t really help. I tried adding ‘display: none;’ to remove the header and it did not remove it. I just wish to know how to remove the ‘Visit Site’ button & how to modify the control panel main buttons…
No, that thread answered only the “View Site” overlapping issue – which is in the title of this topic.
If you want to redesign the admin interface – you are on your own. We don’t really support that kind of questions.
Well I don’t want to have the WP text on the main page… Not the admin control panel.
Something you could try, although not pretty, is rather than deleting the blog title from the Dashboard interface – put it back – and simply leave the h1 tags in header.php empty as such,
<div class="subheader">
<h1></h1>
</div>
If you want your header graphic to be a link back to the homepage despite the absence of a blog title there you could do this,
<div class="subheader" onclick="location.href='http://talkofthegrid.com';" style="cursor: pointer;">
<h1></h1>
</div>
Thank you very much LenK. I appreciate your help and everyone who attempted. 🙂
I had similar header image problems on WP 2.5.1:
1. Where to replace the default header image (in default kubrick theme).
2. How to avoid the “visit site” button from obsuring other buttons in the admin area (when you leave blog title and description blank).
Here’s what I did:
To replace the header image:
Use Theme Editor, select theme (for example “Default”)
Edit style.css
Edit header section near top of this file:
default section:
#header {
background: #73a0c5 url(‘images/kubrickheader.jpg’) no-repeat bottom center;
}
edited section:
#header {
background: #73a0c5 url(‘images/mynewheader.jpg’) no-repeat bottom center;
}
To fix “visit site” button (where you do NOT want a Blog Title), directly edit /wp-admin/admin-header.php. Edit the div named wphead that displays the blog title in the admin area. Edit the wphead division:
default:
<div id=”wphead”>
<h1><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?><span id=”viewsite”>“><?php _e(‘Visit Site’) ?></span></h1>
</div>
change the h1 header to just contain (non-breaking space) instead of the php function above:
<div id=”wphead”>
<h1> <span id=”viewsite”>“><?php _e(‘Visit Site’) ?></span></h1>
</div>
These changes worked for me on WordPress 2.5.1
