Default search folder

[Guest David Caithness]

Each time I run a search I want the search window to open to look in a

specific folder which has already been set by me. When I open the search

window, by default Windows is set to look in drive C: How can I change this

so that it is set to a folder that I’ve specified?

Hi David,

 

Several options:

 

Go to Windows Explorer, highlight the folder in question, open Search then

hit search. When it is done go to File/Save Search and use .fnd as the

extension, save to the desktop.

 

Example:

 

Right-click on any folder icon on the desktop or in an Explorer window, or

any drive icon in My Computer or Explorer, and select Search. Said folder or

drive will automatically be selected in the Look in list.

 

Right click the Start Menu/Search.

Right click the Desktop and then use F3.

Right click any folder and select Search.
