First, this may be a stupid question but I have a Google Desktop icon on my
desktop and I don't know how it got there. Does it come bundled with Windows
Vista, or from Dell, or is it something I have installed myself?
Next, does it affect Vista's searching. If I disable the indexing function
of Google Desktop but leave the sidebar on, will it make any difference?

Google paid DELL a billion dollars($1,000,000,000) to allow them to put
Google's s**t on Dell's crap.

It came preinstalled. If you don't want it, go to the Vista version of
Add/Remove Programs, Programs and Features, in Control Panel and
uninstall it.

I found my RAM usage was running high on my new Dell computer. I deleted the
google desktop and toolbar and it helped free up some RAM. It's not a bad
idea to look at all the programs that came with your Dell to see if there are
other programs you don't ever plan to use and uninstall them.

I''m not positive, but I think thinking positive is positively the only way
to think.

You may be misunderstanding how Vista caches stuff into unused RAM.
