How do I stop the "Search" command on
Windows XP (Professional with Service Pack 1, if it matters) from
looking inside of ".ZIP" files when I am seaching for a filename
match?
When I use the start > Search command do
What do you want to search for?
All files and folders
then
Search by any or all of the criteria below.
All or part of the file name:
{whatever}
I find that the operation looks inside of at least some of
the files are in the "Look in:" list.
When I investigated this with Explorer with "Details" I saw
that all of my ".ZIP" files display as Type
"Compressed (zipped) Folder"
I feel that this is not the proper way for things
to work. If I wanted a compressed folder I would
create a folder and use:
<right click> Properties
tab "General"
button "Advanced..."
Compress or Encrypt attributes
check "Compress contents to save disk space"
A ZIP file is an archive, not a compressed directory.
How do I tell Windows to not look inside of zip FILES?
