Hi,

I'm using XP's search utility on the Start menu.

I want to limit the 'within file' search to a particular directory but
don't seem to be able to find any option. So I end up searching the
whole of C: !!

Anyone help?

Thanks.
 
check the "look in" box drop down menu. slide down at
the bottom is "browse..." option. Press browse and
search for directory.
