    I think the suggestion was to use the e-mail widget and send him his e-mail address, not to publish it here. :)

    E-Mail widget? Have I gone blind? Please Luc, tell me where that is already. Yes of course what says email better than "email". Somehow I've always seemed to ignore that link! My bad! Think I'd better go to bed now. :)

      I have to use Windows XP as my desktop environment. I don't have the luxury of having all of my source code organized into a Visual Studio solution. Many of the source code directories have hundreds of files. I find myself clicking on files in explorer quite a bit but many of these directories have hundreds of files. Scrolling down to find a file or group of files is a pain. I can press a character and explorer will find the first file that begins with that character but I wish I could just keep typing and find the file I'm looking for. Windows search is too cumbersome. Does anyone have a suggestion for a tool that would do something similar to this?

          Um, I just tried typing a filename into the address bar (after a backslash, of course), and it does the trick very nicely.

            Are you really thinking he would post his email in this forum? Dream on! Please ignore my stupidity! I ought to go to sleep now, it is 4:30 AM.

            The original message was a bit misleading, I have corrected it ...

              why dont ya just make one with an autocomplete. childsplay. if you got so much 'code' you must be an average programmer, should take you a couple hours to make an app for it.

                The fact that this project involves other programmers doesn't necessarily prevent you from creating a Visual Studio project and/or solution to manage it.

                    Thanks. Another thing I hadn't tried. This will work fine in the majority of cases.

                      Have you tried using TortoiseSVN .. It's free and a lot of larger companies are using it to manage there code base.

                          Not exactly similar, but you did mention that you tried windows search, so I'll suggest an alternative... Agent Ransack Link[^]is the free little brother to FileLocator Pro. It's pretty fast and you can save your search criteria as well as the search results. Hope this helps. -EM
