구글 데스크탑의 인덱스 파일 위치 변경하기

We have always wondered why Google have not given an option to set the location for the index files. But there is a way to change the location of the bloaty search index files.

• 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.
