The "Look in:" part of Windows search defaults to "Local Hard Drives," but the
drop-down menu has a number of other predefined locations, e.g., "My Documents,"
"Desktop," etc. Is there a way to modify this list? I never want to search any
of the "My" folders, because I don't use them, and I frequently want to search
using a root folder of d:\Work\PPT. Is there some way for me to change the
default search location to d:\Work\PPT and ideally to get rid of all the "My"
chaff from the list?
I tried saving a query that searched in d:\Work\PPT, but double-clicking on that
file resulted in a search from "Local Hard Drives". (The file name and contents
I'd specified for the search were correctly restored, but not the "Look in"
location.)
Is there some way to make Windows search work the way I want it to?
Thanks,
Scott
