I do not understand your question. Can you be more specific about what you are doing and what you see? -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

So - in your SEARCH, are you specifying it look ONLY in the single folder (and perhaps sub-folders) that you are looking in when you open "My Documents"? %userprofile%\my documents\ (Which is normally C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\my documents\ on a Windows XP Computer..) Normally a search will go through whatever you tell it to. If you tell it to look in subfolders or you specify the entire C drive - that is not the same as just specifying the root of the C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\my documents\ directory only... -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
