Google Desktop 64 bits instead Vista Sidebar

Hi there

For all you that prefer google desktop instead the vista sidebar and are facing problem because the new version lack in supporting 64 bits, i found the solution

Im using the last version with the forced installation and i can ensure that its working just perfect

In my view google desktop bar is far better than the vista sidebar because of many widgets supported and due the fact that you have a better search included inside documents witch is a killer point for me. It also is faster, lighter then the vista sidebar or any other solution that i know

so for whos looking for the solution here it goes.

all the kudos goes to jcgriff2
