Why is it that in file search in XP Pro the "browse"
button vanishes and all you can choose from is all of your
drives?

Hi

'Look in:'?

Why would you need the browse button?
If your browsing to a certain directory as opposed to trying to find a file
on your HDD then you already know where the file is so the browse button
would be unnecessary.

Previous versions of Windows had a browse button in the search tool. In XP,
"Browse" is a line item at the bottom of the "Look in:" list.
