In dealing with my most recent problem I had occasion to find and possibly
delete Normal.dot. When I did a Search for Normal.*, Normal.dot. XP didn't
find it. After doing some Googling I found that one could locate Normal.dot
at C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Microsoft
\Templates. Why doen't search pick this up in XP?

TIA
 
In Windows XP, the folder in which Normal.dot is stored is a Hidden folder.
Unless you have hidden files and folders displayed and specifically include
them in your search, Normal.dot will not be found.
