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.

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.

find / -name '*.sln'
