- Google Desktop Search Plug-ins: TweakGDS: 手動/自動 更新索引，須先安裝 .NET Framework。
ex1: C:\tweakgds\TweakGDS.exe "C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\My Documents" 只針對[我的文件]更新索引
ex2: C:\tweakgds\TweakGDS.exe /complete "C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\My Documents" 只針對[我的文件]更新索引，並刪除cache

If you upgrade from GDS1.x to GDS 2 Beta, I recommend you reinstall GDS and its plugins to avoid the compatiability issues.

- Active+ Software MIME Indexer 1.01 (*.EML)

- Larry's Help File Indexer (*.CHM)
