Ctrl Twice and Google Search

[getvisible]

If you press Ctrl twice do you get a google search thing in the middle of your screen?

Isn’t that part of google desktop search/sidebar thing?

[HarveyC]

Yes it is. Bet that freaked you out before you knew that!

[getvisible]

yeh found out it is. I love this AJAX stuff.

it's a bit dodgy though. make sure you've got no-one looking over your shoulder if you've saving dodgy stuff to your pc. Not like I do or anything.

I know - but the reason I got rid of G desktop was because it slowed down my laptop.

PS: Is it AJAX? It's software based so 'twould be a bit odd to use javascript

We had to get rid of Google desktop in our company becuase the damn things slows everything down by indexing everything on your PC (e-mails, files the lot!). It then sends selected data to Google which they only use internally (Yeah righto sunshine!).

I say if you've got it installed then get rid of it.
