I can't get rid of Small Window in Desktop
This desktop sits in a nearby therapy facility for the amusement of
the in-patients. I see that there is a small window in the middle of the desktop screen that just can't be removed. Or, at least I can't find out how. The window seems likely to be Google Mail related. The user doesn't have administrator privileges, and the administrator login requires a password which no one seems to know. Thus I can't run msconfig. Any idea how I can erase it for good? Thanks Duke
