Google has plugged everybody into Google Talk from their gmail interface. However, a lot of people who use gmail, don’t want Google Talk displayed within gmail. Here’s how to turn it off.

Getting google talk out of gmail is not tough. However, google has just made it difficult to find.

Scroll down to the very bottom of gmail after you log in. You should see the standard view without chat link. Click it and you are set.

I’ve included a quick screenshot that shows where it is:

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestion... it doesn't really fix the entirety of the prob though... I dont want to be distracted by chat, so i want that entire box out of sight... I can't seem to drag it down under the other features either, like under "google calendar" or 'web search' on the left. What do you suggest? Can i hide the box away completely, or... drag it below the rest so its not visible?? thank you!!
