Location of the Google Desktop Index File on Your Computer

As of May, 2006 it’s:

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Google Desktop Search
where USERNAME is your username on the computer.

As this useful GDS tips page tells us.

Update:

Avid reader Jody writes in:

It’s actually C:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Google Desktop\[hash]
where [hash] is some weird set of characters.

but you can find out for sure
by going to….regedit and finding the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\google\googledesktop\data_dir (mine was under administrator)

Terms I searched for:

  1. where is the google desktop index file located
  2. where is my “Google desktop” index file
  3. where is my “Google desktop” index
