organ_shifter Posted August 23, 2005 CID Share Posted August 23, 2005 Read about it here: TestMy.net's News Check out this new sidebar that comes along with the new Google Desktop 2.

Here is a screenshot of how I have it setup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

organ_shifter Posted August 26, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 26, 2005 There are a lot of pretty nice programs for it already. It seems to be very customizable. See here: Google Desktop Plugins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice Posted August 26, 2005 CID Share Posted August 26, 2005 I can't use it, because I use NOD32. They are working on a fix for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
