A bit off topic, but if you get the opportunity, try out the new, free
Google Desktop search. It is easy to install and only takes a few moments. The application indexes your desktop, including email files, and soon has most all of the files on your personal machine ready for a Google search.
After it is installed, whenever you complete a Google search, it will return a result set that includes the typical web "hits" as well as all hits from your local computer. From my early testing of the beta version, I have found it to be extremely useful in locating files on my local drives (some I had even forgot I had).
Try it out if you get a chance; you might find it a useful new tool for your computer.
