Can XP search for ALL Excel files

hmm

In the Windows XP "Advanced" Search, where I specify a file type, I can
either specify an Excel file (i.e., Excel 2007) or an Excel '97-2003 file.
Is there any way tell Search to find ALL Excel files (whether 2007 or
earlier)? Thanks.
 
hmm,

Try using *.xls* as the name string in your search instead of using the filetype.

HTH,
