Google Chrome on Mac

Seems ok so far, not much different from Safari.

But why each time I run it do I get the disk thing mounting on my desktop?

My guess would be that you downloaded the disk image and, rather than copy the Application to your applications folder, you have created an Alias to the Application on the disk image which still exists on your machine. Every time you launch the Alias, it will mount the disk image in order to run the Application.

When I click on the icon it brings up a pixxor of the chrome logo and the applications folder beneath it. I dragged the logo into the folder, thus copying it to applications but it still keeps making the icon on the desktop.

Have a look in your Applications folder and do a "Get Info" on the Chrome application. Is the kind listed as Application or Alias? Is there a small black arrow on the Application icon?

If it's not an Alias then you have something somewhat more strange going on.

It's listed as an 'Application (intel)'.

Can you get us a screen shot? Are you sure you moved thebchrome icon to your applications, and not the 'mounted image'?
