Desktop Search Saved me $20

  • Article

I recently bought PartitionMagic, a tool for divvying up my hard drive so that I could have multiple OS's installed.  I want to have a partition where I can install a test vesion of Vista and Office while still having a "guaranteed safe" partition with XP.  Partition Magic came with a $20 rebate form if I had purchased any previous Symantec or Norton product.  I was sure I had, but the proof required either a receipt (good luck there) or an emal confirmation if I bought it online.  Hmmm.... So I just typed "Symantec" into my Desktop Search bar and -voila - up pops the email confirmation for having bought Norton anti-virus back in 2005.  Of course, I could probably have found this by searching around in email - but this took about five seconds and searched everything on my drive.  Definitely worth running (and it's built into Office Outlook 2007 and Vista).
