Hi!
Using WindowsExplorer (not InternetExplorer) in WinXP SP2,
I'm trying to find all files in a directory tree that have
one particular word ("Mouse") inside the file.
It's easy to do in Win9x, and I do it all the time at work
in Win2000, but WinXP says there are NO files in that directory
with that word inside them.
But I can open up ONE file right in the directory the search
starts in and see NINE occurrences of that word!
So, why can't Search find that file?
I've set it to look in System and Hidden files (even though
this file is neither). It is set to NOT case sensitive.
Even if I tell Search to look ONLY in that file (by giving
it the filename), it still can't see the word "Mouse" in
that file.
Help, please!
