Updated my Google Desktop Tips & Tricks

I updated my Google Desktop Tips & Tricks page with the following new information:

Finding a File by Part of the Name
Let's say you want to find file called "U2-All That You Can't Leave Behind-Beautiful day.mp3"
In your search field type (no quotes) "Beautiful filetype:mp3"
Your results will come back: U2-All That You Can't Leave Behind-Beautiful day.mp3
Also, when you get your results back, clicking "Sort by Relevance" helps out quite a bit as well.

Password Protected Word File
GDS will index password protected word files. If you create a word file and put in a password and save it, GDS will index it and the file will be viewable via that Google Cache.
• Again, Google Desktop Search was meant for a single user PC. You created the file and it's password. You should know what it contains.
• If you do share you machine or don't want these files showing up in your searches, create a "Do Not Index" folder and add it to Google's Preferences.
