Google Desktop Search

This might be the best thing from Google ever. Install this on your computer and it will index all your files when you are not using the machine. Then all you have to do to find anything on the machine is hit the Ctrl key twice and type in what you want. It will quickly list all the data on your computer that match your search. Of course, if the file, email or website you want isn’t on your computer, you can use the same tool to search the internet.

Plus, there’s a toolbar that can sit on the side of your screen (it can hide there) with all kinds of useful gadgets (and dozens to choose from). Useful gadgets include the current weather conditions, a scratchpad, a battery meter, my most recent email and the latest news.
