Can anyone tell me how to find the "Find" utility? That's the utility that
you get under the Tools menu of Windows Explorer in Win95? I use it all the
time to find files and folders but I can't locate in XP Pro.

Launch explorer, navigate to the topmost directory where you want the search
to begin, right click and select search.

F3 works as well
(usually, unless the active window has F3 designated to do something else).

Start -- search --- files and folders

From the windows explorer menu there's search button that will start from
the currently selected folder (including all sub folders)

Find was replaced by search on the start menu back in windows 98, it works
pretty much the same way.
