What is Google Deskbar?

Google Deskbar is a free desktop toolbar developed by Google that integrates Google Search and other Google services into the Windows taskbar. It serves as a customizable launchpad that gives users quick access to popular Google products.

Once installed, the Google Deskbar sits conveniently in the Windows taskbar and features a search box to execute queries directly on Google Search. Users can log into their Google Accounts to enable personalized features and single sign-on access for services like Gmail, Google Calendar, YouTube, and Google Maps.

In addition to the Google Search box, the Google Deskbar provides configurable buttons and menus to launch web-based Google applications like Gmail, Google News, Picasa Web Albums and more. Users can customize the Deskbar by adding or removing service buttons as well as changing its color theme.

The Google Deskbar aims to provide an easy way for Google users to access their most-visited Google products without having to first open a web browser. Its deep Windows taskbar integration strives to offer a seamless user experience. Current versions of the Deskbar are available for Internet Explorer on Windows XP and higher.
