Google Desktop
I was very impressed with Google picasa. I do not know how they manage to pack so many useful features into such small software. Today I decided to try their next product DESKTOP. The installation was not very event free as I expected. My laptop crashed during the installation (Probably because of bad network connectivity during installation). It failed to start with windows. So I had to manually add it to startup. However it installed without any problems in my Desktop. DeskTop is for desktop only? 🙂
One function I would have liked in this product is the capacity to index CDs. Right now I am using another software for this. Probably I may have to use the same for some more time. It will also be useful if the To Do list has a provision to enter time and a reminder function.
It has the ability to search contents on My Documents and web history on another computer. However my shared folder was not My documents. To make full use of this functionality I transferred my shared folder to My Documents which unfortunately was not an easy thing to do.
