[blindlaw] Google Desktop question

Hello All:
As my work has gotten to be more and more paperless, I've taken to using a rather large external hard drive backup for my files and all work, and I've also been trying out google desktop.
I've found the google desktop application to be handy in one sense, if I can recall only a topic or name for a file or document, and believe me, I have a massive amount of files in my backups, the google desktop comes in handy.
The down side I've found has to do with the cumbersome nature of the application itself.
The darn thing is very cumbersome to use. While I can use my JAWS curser to read down through the hits, I find that I can't navigate to to any of them and get to the file that way.
On the other hand, if I open up google desktop and get down to the google web search, I have no trouble using the standard google comands to navigate.
That is as strange as it is frustrating, especially since I can't get to the darn option settings for the desktop side of things.
Has anyone else used it and if so, how did you manage to configure it?
Google desktop is free and has great potential for those of us who are in solo practice, so I thought I'd ask.
