Well, I can't help you any further, I don't really fancy installing Google Desktop. Mainly because I know it will install a load of other stuff I don't want it to and it will then run 2 or 3 processes every time I start up Windows.

Sorry, but you're going to have to ask someone else one here who does have this installed...
