Ever wanted to move the Big big Index file generated by Google desktop search in your profile folder to some other drive and path, here is what I did:

  • By default the index is stored in:
    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Google Desktop Search
    where USERNAME is your username on the computer. Local Settings is a hidden folder, you’ll have
    unhide it. If you are unsure how to unhide a file or directory read this .
  • Make sure you exit the Google Desktop Search application before proceeding.
  • Now, drag the WHOLE folder titled "Google Desktop Search" to a new drive or partition with lots of space. Lets say "D" so now your search files will be in the folder "D:\Google Desktop Search"
  • Next, click Start - Run - type regedit. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Desktop
  • change the value of data_dir to D:\Google Desktop Search.
  • Exit out of regedit and restart the Google Desktop search.
  • You’re done and your search index in now moved.
