> 1- go to your windows host drive (the drive that you installed

> display". Now goto windows folder and type e, x, p and you are on
> it, the explorer.exe file. Now go back to root folder and try
> searching "msmsgs.exe" same answer now go to "\Program
> Files\Messenger" folder, thats it second file in list!

> searchin every folder is usefull when you are searching for a virus

> sepratly that it isvery time consuming process.

> The second problem is with "Look in" combo box that is not
> containing full path to search folder so you cannot include many
> selected drives like what was available in windows 2000, I could
> search drive C and D together using folder name like this C:,D:
> (i'm not sure may be C:;D: ) but it is not available anymore
>
> The other problem is the name on Search folder combo box is not
> path anymore so I cannot copy the search folder name from there. As
> an example if you are searching D:\Documents\Media it only shows
> Media and if you have Media Folder in many Media folder like
> "C:\Document\1\Media", "C:\Document\2\Media",
> "C:\Document\3\Media", ... you will not know which one you was
> searching from the search box

> fortunatly I managed to get ride of the dog and stupid new search
> dialog that was showing all files as thumbnails.
