My GDS directory is: C:\\Documents and Settings\\Me\\Local Settings\\Application Data\\Google\\Google Desktop Search> ----- 1,198,529K It has never finished indexing... :-( It's at 78% at the moment. You? What's more disconcerting is that if I tell it to Pause Indexing when the CPU load is 100% (due to whatever it's doing that causes it to grab the CPU in a stranglehold even though it's only supposed to index when the system is idle), then it doesn't. I have to kill the GDS process to get the CPU back to normal. Cheers, Scott.

Sidebar is the least sucky implementation of this sort of thing that i've seen (the DesktopSidebar project thing is way too intrusive), but I'm of the opinion that sidebars suck as a concept. Performance seems OK for now. More as it happens.

Not as much storage on my machine, though if it was going through all network shares I have a shade more than half a tera.. I uninstalled...figuring the time savings minimal compared to the pain being caused. Like the idea behind it...first implementation wasn't too good for me though. If you push something hard enough, it will fall over. _{Fudd's First Law of Opposition} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]
