Search for Files or Folders does not Find all the files

[Mike Sh.]

My Problem: The <Search for Files or Folders> function
does
not Find ALL the files that it should find.

For example: when I search my Hard Drive for all files
named *.DXF my Windows 2000 computer returns incomplete
results. It might only find 10 files when there actually
are 50 or more files on the drive that have a .DXF
extension.

I am not filtering by date or size or using any Advanced
Search Options.

I'll be grateful for any help with this problem.

Thanks Mike

files and Folders", and uncheck "Hide Protected Operating System..." Try
searching again.
