I don't like it because I have 6 HDD . With XP I was shown a screen to modify where and how I would like to perform a search . With Vista I don't see this option , Or does it ? Vista search has no option but to place the name in the search line . I like to be able to see a screen and perform where I want it to search . Thanks Ken for Ransack ( summited this one twice ) Also special thanks goes to MS for removing my post . -- steelers |

Also when running the Advanced search, you will see on the left hand side the location such as *computer* and you click it, which will again show one the drives, If it doesn't find what your looking for as far as a file name is concerned, then you check mark on *Include non indexed and system files* and select the drive to search in the Location box or the search location pane on the left hand side of the when the pane shows. Also using the Windows-key/F-key combination to get to that screen, you use the Alt-key that will show another menu. It's a shame that so many will not use tools like Google or Dogpile.com to look things up and get information, but that's how it is in today's environment as people will not take the path and do something on their own. http://vistarewired.com/2007/03/17/how-to-search-files-by-content-data |

Look man, click on the Start Button and type something in the Search Box and select Search Everywhere, which will take you to the Advanced Search. Or go to to Explorer type something the Search box and find the Advanced Search icon that going to be somewhere in the result box and double click it. I found this stuff out by using *Google* man. Goggle is your friend. |

Goggle is your friend. Finally Mr. Arnold said something we can believe. He uses Google to learn how to use Vista. The sound of air leaving a rapidly deflating balloon now fills the air. Arnold, the wannabe always pompous BS spreader that wants us to believe he is a expert on everything has just exposed himself for what he really is...nothing. |

At least someone knows how to go look things up, which there is no shame in it to acquire information when needed. There is nothing wrong in learning something from someone else. Just like one will go to ISBN 978-0-470-08984-2 WCF Professional Programming .NET Development with Windows Communications Foundation, which you know nothing about it, to get paid in the long run. You are a big time foo Albright, and you have wasted a lot of your time in life if you have not learned how to take short-cuts, use information and learn from others. You can't be that stupid, although you act like it. You are a big time fool, if you think that the package you carry between your legs is all that. |

It's more technical than Google with less clutter. I have used them both and so have many many others in dealing with problem solving techniques. If someone has already found the solution to the problem or has information about something, then one shouldn't be a macho moron trying to re-invent the wheel, wasting time and not look for it or using it. It's stupid. You take care now. |
