I just put a ton of Excel files back on my main hard drive from a USB external drive after I did the index. Google Desktop cannot find any of them.

How do I do a "re-index" and do I have to do the whole darn primary hard drive again? The Excel files are in specific folders on a specific partition on the main hard drive.

This is a simple way for them to point out that everything is still on their computer

Similarly to how Explorer doesn't ask you if you really want to running Word when you double click on it.

Can anyone confirm this?

On a positive note, it supports standard wild cards *.exe, *.bat, etc.

On a negative note, it executes exe's just by clicking on it, no prompt to download or to execute, it just does it. While this feature is cool, you have to wonder how it overrides the security built into IE and Firefox.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11586887 Thu, 14 Oct 2004 14:35:19 EDT Re: It works pretty damn well http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11586825 MikBo : Sounds like a nice addition,think I will wait a bit,make sure it doesn't have any unwanted goodies or vulnerabilities!

BTW i know they are not releasing WinFS with the release of Longhorn -- so no comments need on that.

Given that it's been delayed for about a decade, now, I am dubious that WinFS will ever see the light of day. Vaporware, anyone?

The emails are index and displayed through the web browser, maybe a sign of things to come from GMail?

It's EXTREMELY fast, I was able to search the text within a microsoft word documents across my entire hard drive in a split second, try doing that with your normal XP Search feature.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11585664 Thu, 14 Oct 2004 12:23:05 EDT
