I just installed Google Desktop yesterday.



I've seen lots of posts that complain about that program messing up Excel.

One of the suggested fixes is to do a registry tweak.

But you could try turning the google desktop back on, but turn off the COM addin
in excel (and Word and PPT??).

In excel,
Tools|customize|Commands tab|Tools Category
Scroll down the commands listbox and
Drag "COM Add-ins..." to under Tools|Addins
(It seems to make sense there.)

Then close up that dialog.

Back to Tools|COM Add-ins...
Turn off the google desktop search addin.

Maybe you can still use the desktop addin then.

PS. I read a few posts about google desktop causing trouble--but that was with
the beta version of the program. I guess Google just released it into
"production" recently.

Maybe the new version doesn't have this trouble. (Maybe a download of the most
current version would be in order for testing.)
