My apologies I am using Windows Internet Explorer and the error read
Google Updater Cannot Continue(error 0x80070020). Which is strange
because Google was able to download everything else(Chrome, Toolbar,
Maps) only desktop and sidebar didnt load.

Google Desktop - Excessive Internet Usage

(Robert866) — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 13:53:35 UT

I got an unexpected email from BT advising me that I was about to

investigation I discovered that the culprit seems to be Google Desktop
which I have been using trouble free for two or three years. Internet
activity with GD running is in the region of 250MB every eight hours.

Password-protected documents viewable in preview mode

(jfrondorf) — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 20:57:49 UT

I just noticed that password protected documents (eg, Word.doc, or
Excel.xls) are viewable in the "preview" mode of Google Desktop search
display. I have Office 2003. (When I try to open the document, the
password is required...but, of course, the material could already be
compromised at that point.)
