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

It is definitely a window, is it, not just a small image loaded as a
wallpaper?

Thanks - I did do the 'properties' thing, but I don't remember seeing
the "desktop clean up wizard". I'll look again today, when I
re-visit.
