Window Explorer Search Application

[Montana DOJ Help Desk]

Windows XP

I'm writing up some user instructions, and I would like to include a link in
the document that will open Windows Explorer with the Search Companion
active. Is there a way to do that?

What I was hoping to do is embed a link in a document so that the user could
click the link and have the search window open. I searched the Internet
looking for Windows Explorer switches, and I did find some, but none that
open Windows Explorer with the Search pane active. I also tried looking
through the Registry to see if that would give me any ideas, but came up
with nothing. It looks like there may not be a way to do this.

Make the link point to a "Saved search" file. (filename.fnd)

Bob,

Thanks for the tip. That will accomplish what I want. I've never saved a
search before, so this would never have occurred to me.
