One Google desktop tip that I discovered today

by Ankur Jain on January 14, 2009

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]
