Gadets not in My Documents

gjlind · 05-11-2007, 04:32 AM

Dear forum members,
Is there a way to tell Google Desktop to use an alternative directory. I for some specific reason, do not want Google to store gadets in the folder My Google Gadets in My Documents.
Please?

Yes you can do this I just looked thru the registry and found it in there under hkey_urrent_user/software/google/google desktop name(plugin_dir) change the value to the location that you want the google gadgets in
