Want to embellish your shiny new GMail account? Go read Christina's accumulation of links to do wondrous things, like a new mail notification to your systray or the ability to download GMail to your POP3 e-mail client.
The link to that nifty tool I mentioned below is walled up behind a subscription, but Christina (in comments) found another one which does more-or-less the same thing without fighting that battle. It's called BHO Demon, and it comes in two flavors. Version 1 is an itsy-bitsy 479K; Version 2 is 1.4MB. I downloaded the smaller of the two and it works as advertised; it shows you a table with the Browser Helper Objects it finds in your registry, and you can click each BHO for details. If one of them is a bad guy, just rename it.
