If you are into searching your machines regularly for files, there is no excuse for not having Google Desktop installed on your machines.

I use Google desktop almost daily. Many a times I want to locate a file and just want to see in which folder it is residing and do not necessarily want to open it, especially when it is an .exe or a .vbs file.

Earlier when I wanted to do this, I would hover mouse over one of the results and memorize it to manually navigate to the folder.

Today, by accident, I click on the right arrow key while I was on one of the results and voila, it popped up “Open Folder” as can be seen in the image below.

Now I can click on “Open Folder” and directly go it without opening the file or memorizing full address. [You can also right click while on the result, to get the “Open Folder” option]
