I've been hooked on Google's Desktop Search app.
Launched in October of 2004, Desktop Search is a tool that runs in the background, keeping tab of your files. Its claim to fame? Use it like the web-based Google to search your computer for files, pictures, and anything else. It indexes not just file names, but their contents as well (for supported file types).
The result? If you, like me, have a tendency to be a packrat with your files and keep years and years of data, then Googling your desktop can be a pretty fun experience. Type the name of a close friend and see what files, pictures, and what-nots pop up. I am often pleasantly surprised with the stuff that I have buried in my hard drive.
Your results are all hyperlinked, making it really convenient to open these discoveries. You can open the file or the folder that the file is located in.
Warning though: If you're the type who has lots of skeletons in your closet, then don't install this app. Or at least don't have your friends huddling around your monitor, lest your past life shows up! (Note: even Google web searches would display a summary of results from your desktop).
But if you've got nothing to hide, then you packrats will get a real kick out of this app.
