Why can't I specify a folder for Find?

[void]

When I click on Start->Search->For Files or Folders, the window lets me select
a drive to search in, but it does not let me select a subfolder for some
reason. Sometimes I want to search for files in a particular folder, and not
on the entire drive. How can I do this? Windows 98 let me do this, and I
cannot believe Windows 2000 won't let me do this.

Scroll down the list and click on the 'Browse' selection. That will
present a browser dialog that lets you navigate around.

You can do a Search through Windows Explorer and search
through particular folders that way.

On the left pane, right click the folder/subfolder you'd
like to search in and click on the Search... command and
you're all set!

Navigate to the folder you wish to search using "My Computer". Hit Ctrl-F.
Voila!
