Guest bretsharon Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 I dislike xp's search for file and folder in windows explorer and some years back I found a utility which changes just this program back to an earlier version which I am pleased with. I can't find the program anymore. Does anyone know what I am referring too. I won't use windows desktop manager because of its terrible search program

There's no way I can know what you are referring to, but many of us here like the free Agent Ransack. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup

Eh? Seems like I did. I knew exactly what he was talking about when I read "earlier version". An alternative would've been saying "putting that dog to sleep". :-)
