I recall that I had to do something to make Windows Explorer search
correctly. For instance if you searched for files: *.vb and put in the work
RaiseEvent it doens't find anything. I had to make some change to make that
work. Now I have a new computer and forgot what I have to do.

Anyone know with it is?
Thanks,
T

If you are referring to searching for a word or phrase in a *.vb file, put

*.vb in the "All or part of the Filename" textbox, and the search term you
want to find in the
"A word or phrase in the file" textbox.

That does not work with Windows XP out of the box. There is some quirky
adjustment that must be made. I just can't remember what it is.

Works fine on my old XP box (where I made the quirky adjustment) but not on
my new one.

Thanks so much. That's it. I wonder if Vista will have the same bug :)
