What is a GG file?
A .GG file is a Google Gadget file.
The Google Desktop application uses the GG file extension for gadget files. Gadgets are script-based sidebar gadgets, similar to widgets but solely used for the Google application.
The gadgets contained in the GG files can provide Google Desktop users with streaming information on news, finance, and sports, as well as interactive game utilities and custom search boxes. These "gadgets" are installed right onto the user's Google desktop or browser. Popular sidebar gadgets that use the .gg file extension include calculators, currency converters, news tickers, and blog updates.
