I switch between a desktop PC and a laptop and it's great that the notes are there whichever machine I'm on. I'd like to see an equivalent for iGoogle though. I find this very usefull.

I'm not using Google Desktop any longer, but I'll try to help out from memory. I think Desktop stores your data on your hard drive, unless you tell Google otherwise. I think there's a setting in the Sidebar options to allow access from other computers, at which point Google stores your data online. I could be making all this up. My memory's not that great a lot of times. Honestly, it sounds like your data might be lost for good. I've never really thought about backups for the Sidebar. I'm not sure what you could do at this point. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, Andrew Hi Charles,

Recently upgraded to Firefox's latest update. Also on the same day I installed Java's latest version. I then discovered that all my notes in "Scratch Pad" disappeared. Also the list of items in my "Todo" list also disappeared - both programs kept in Google's Sidebar. Are the items in each of these 'programs' stored on my harddisk, or off site at Google? I would very much like to retrieve them!!! Thanks for your help. Have been using Google’s “Scratch Pad” for about a year. Recently upgraded to Firefox’s latest update.

When I’m at the computer, the Scratch Pad gadget for Google Desktop and the Google Notebook (can you tell that I’m a Google freak?) are great tools for getting stuff out of my head so I can focus on what I’m working on. Away from the computer, a small notepad is more than enough (but I still want my Hipster). [...] [...] Yet another area where having a place to record your thoughts does the trick.
