seach questions

[Guest]

I am missing "lookout" that I used when I had XP.

I am now using the Search box (after clicking on the "Start") and do get
fine results just am not understanding how to open up a file (or email, etc)
after I found what I am looking for.

For example: I search for "San Diego" and I get like 50 results in the
"search results in indexed locations" window. I find the exact email that I
was looking for and go and click on it (either single or double have tried
both) and NOTHING happens other than showing a preview of the message.

In Lookout you could click on the message and it would open in a separate
window.

Am I doing something wrong?

I have no probs with pics, just double-click in the search results.
With emails it asks Windows Mail to open it, or???. I choose Outllook, as it
is my default which Vista forgets, after browsing in Office for it, and it
opens as I want..

If you right-click one of those links > Open with
then you can select an appropriate program to open them with (your default
may have been altered)
