If you right-click the desktop, properties, desktop, does it show in the

I'll check later when I return to nursing home. My wife there
suddenly had to be taken back to a hospital so I am now busy
otherwise. Please be patient.
Thanks

I stopped and took a quick look. Right click on desktop produces the
familiar 'display properties' window, in which of course you can alter
background, resolutions, etc. BTW, the little window says 'Google
Mobile'.
Back to hospital now - cya a little later.

If from the "display properties" window you select the "Desktop" tab,
does the picture show the desktop with your little window in it?

I'm still trying to establish it isn't a small image that's somehow got
loaded as wallpaper. However, I don't think so now (though still worth
checking).

Are you sure your circuits are functioning correctly? Your ears are green!

I don't think so. I scanned the wallpaper and background choices and
do not see that image anywhere. I think Google Mobile is the culprit
but I had nothing to do with that, nor can I seem to get rid of that
either. Probably because I do not have Admin privs. Oh well.

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.


One possibility is that some comedian has incorporated this window as part
of the wallpaper. Since it isn't actually a window you can never close it.

This we have already addressed - hence my asking if it was still there
in the mini desktop within Display Properties. Trying loading a
different wallpaper will prove that one way or the other.
