I cannot search properly at the moment. When I look for files or folders
containing text, it returns no results, Ive looked in search hidden and
system files, I used to type something into my run command line and it no
longer appears there. I used to type something like dadada.msc and it gave me
the ability to allow search for files with unknown extensions, can anyone
refresh me!

PLEASE!

Search in Windows XP is brain dead in my opinion. It will only search files
with registered extensions. Get a freeware program called Agent Ransack that
will actually search all the files on your system like you used to be able
to do in older versions of Windows.
 
dadada.msc is Computer Management, compmgmt.msc.
