Hi all, I'm slowly getting to know my laptop running Vista. All sorts of programs have been installed by the vender notably the Google toolbar and the Google desktop. I managed to remove the first without problem but can't get rid of the Google desktop. It insists on running in the background or protest so much when I exit from it in the system tray that I cannot uninstall it in control pannel ad and remove programs. Is there a way of tweaking it to make it less intrusive? Help very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Marie
