click 
the Chatter Desktop settings icon and
select Settings. From the Settings screen, you can:
- Configure Chatter Desktop to launch when you start your computer.
- Configure Chatter Desktop to minimize when you close it.
- Turn popup notifications on or off. Popup notifications are enabled by default.
- Manage alerts for new feed posts and comments (advanced settings).
- Configure Chatter Desktop to always display in the foreground (advanced settings).
