Google has released a new version of its free Desktop tool which makes it easier to find files on a PC or the Web.

Google Desktop 5 has a new-look sidebar and several redesigned Gadgets (add-ons such as news, photo slideshows and calendars).

The application also has an improved Desktop Search function which displays previews of files so it is easier to find the right file.

Google Desktop 5 has new security features including warnings if the user clicks a link to a potentially dangerous web site.

In this new release Google have also fixed several compatibility issues with Thunderbird and Outlook Express that were reported by users of the Beta version of Google Desktop 5 released in March.
