Several problems with Google Desktop Search

Hi!
There are 3 problems I have with Google Desktop Search:
1. After booting my PC there's a Google Window on my Desktop that only disappears when I restart Google Desktop search. There's no little x-Button or an option to disable it. I think it has something to do with the option "always show on background" (dont know the exact description, because I have it in german). But this option is unchecked!

2. It only searches in 17,690 and not in all 154,160 files I have on my harddisk, wich misses the point of why I installed Google Desktop Search.

3. For some reason it doesn't search for text in html-files on my harddisk.

I think Google Desktop Search is a good idea and it's amazingly fast, but if it doesn't find what I'm searching for it's useless. I wouldn't care if the indexing stuff takes up 2GB of my harddisc, but it has to include everything! And I don't want a program that get's on my nerves all the time. I want to have control over the programs on my computer, not the other way around!

Bye,
Helgefan
