    I still don't get how QA passed a system where I type in the name of a file I KNOW exists on the HDD, and the Vista file search cannot find it.

      Oh I heard about that in Vista and 7, apparently if you search for .doc files it will not find them unless the file was either made by Word or you rename it from .doc to something else :doh: (I assume it's just Microsoft trying to hide none Microsoft created files)

        I am searching for a project that I created with VS2008, and I'm searching for the filename using search for all files, I'm in fact specifying the name of the folder.

          *Cough*

          cmd.exe > dir *.sln /s /p

              Hell yes. Command line background for me - if I really showed my age here, I'd use

              find / -name '*.sln'

                  I did, after it failed the first time. Also told it to search unindexed files.

                    I never did, as I prefer reliability over speed. and it works for me (Vista). It has been subject of discussion in the Lounge quite recently. :)
