Search look in box mostly empty

[Rebecca]

Hello,

On Win2000, under Start/Search/for files or folders...when
that dialog box comes up, the "Look in" drop down menu is
only showing the C drive, it isn't showing any of the
network drives the computer is connected to. Any ideas?
Thanks!

It would be nice if it showed the local subdirectories too.
