My initial enthusiasm for the recently released Google Desktop Search product was somewhat dampened when I realized that the product would only index files on the C: drive. That restriction limits the value of GDS on my home system (on which virtually all user files are stored on the E: drive) and on my work PC (where I store all my user files on a network share mapped as G:).
It turns out that there's a workaround. Scott Kingery's excellent GDS TIPS page has all sorts of useful information about GDS, including how to hack the registry to tell GDS to index additional drives besides C:.
(Thanks to Chris Sherman from Search Engine Watch for pointing out the Kingery site.)
