[LM_NET] TECH Disabling Alerts in Google Desktop 4.0

[Gordon Walter <gordonwalter@MCHSI.COM>]

I think the constant News Alerts are slowing down my computer, and I 
want to disable this particular gadget.
On my XP machine, I am having trouble following the directions for 
removing Alerts from Google Desktop 4.0.  When I do step 2 of Google's 
directions below, I do not see what I am supposed to see.  Instead of 
accessing the various Alerts, my "Owners" folder opens, revealing the 
various folders stored there....
Has anybody successfully disabled some of the Alerts in Google Desktop?
If you had the same problem I am having, what did you do?
Here are the Google directions....

USING GOOGLE DESKTOP 4.0:

1. Click on "Options" button in the top-right corner of the Sidebar.
2. Select "Configure gadgets."
3. Un-check the "Enable alerts" box next to the panel you'd like to disable.
4. Click the "X" in the top-right corner to close the dialog window and 
apply the changes.
