Re: Windows Vista's Search component - is there anything better out th I find it pretty comprehensive and workable - is there a specific problem with it that you need to sort?

Re: Need a Search Folder for "selected hard drives", not "all" hard dr Re: Need a Search Folder for "selected hard drives", not "all" hard dr I think I understand your question, I think you don't understand my reply! :D Not sure if you can put pics in this forum - I'll try: 1. Goto "start" and "search". 2. Select "advanced search". 3. Where it says "location", pull down the list and the very last entry says "Choose search locations" - select that. 4. Click on "computer" to list all your drives and select the ones you want to search. 5. Click on ok. 6. Select any other search parameters you want to specify (eg: filename, type etc) then click on "search". 7. You can save the search - click on "save search" and select the name and location of the file - you car instance save something called "search drives D F and K for jpgs" on the desktop. * Can't see how to insert a pic but hopefully this is getting us nearer to being on the same planet. What's the old saying? I think we meant what we thought we said but I don't think we said what we thought we meant - something like that.:D

Re: Need a Search Folder for "selected hard drives", not "all" hard dr Re: Need a Search Folder for "selected hard drives", not "all" hard dr Sorry - hit wrong button before I'd finished! When the search is complete you can save the search paramters as a virtual folder for future searches - click on "save search" giving the folder an appropriate name like "search drives D, F and K".

Re: Need a Search Folder for "selected hard drives", not "all" hard dr Re: Need a Search Folder for "selected hard drives", not "all" hard dr ok - got you now ...... go to search, select advanced. from the location pulldown list choose search locations - it will give you a checklist to choose which drives to search.

Re: user forgot password Where did this quoted address come from? The address I quoted was: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=133599&package_id=167699

Re: Need a Search Folder for "selected hard drives", not "all" hard dr Re: Need a Search Folder for "selected hard drives", not "all" hard dr Not 100% sure I understand your question but if you're just seeking to search a selected drive or folder then just right click on that drive or folder and select the search option.

Re: user forgot password Get a copy of the freebie ophcrach cd iso from here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=133599&package_id=167699 Burn the cd image and boot from it - it loads up a linux based windows password cracking routine. It does not attempt to write to your ard drive at all - just reveals the windows password for you. Don't be put off by the word "crack" - this is not illegal software - it is a valid system management tool from the well known sourceforge group to get people who have forgotten their passwords.
