What is Google Desktop?


This article applies to:
  • Platform(s):
    Windows 2000 (SP4+), Windows XP (SP1 SP2), Vista
  • Browser(s):
    Internet Explorer 5.5, Internet Explorer 6.x, Internet Explorer 7.x


Google Desktop is an application that allows you to search your files, music and other media, email, chats, and viewed webpages.

When you look at a web page, read an email, open or edit a file, or have an AIM chat, Google Desktop indexes that item and copies the item's content into its cache, so that you'll be able to find long-finished chats and older versions of files and web pages.

Google Desktop runs on computers using Windows 2000 (Service Pack 3 or above) or Windows XP, and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or above. It requires 1 gigabyte (Gb) of space available on your hard drive. For best performance, we recommend at least 128 Mb RAM and a 400MHz or faster Pentium processor.
