which standards document indicates that * is wildcard? I'll give you credit that I can't say I've ever seen ** used as wildcard but * is certainly no standard that I know.

Possibly, it only ever shows up once in the customize dialog though, and has the same tooltip text "Trillian - Online" usually. And it's weird that Network has the opposite problem, keeps deciding to re-show itself every few days when I've selected to hide it. I've pretty much consigned myself to reapplying the settings manually every few days when they are lost as I've a feeling I'm never going to get to the bottom of why it's going on, just thought I'd post to see if anyone else had encountered anything similar, or knew of any other details such as where the settings are stored so I could monitor access to the file/reg keys etc.

I think filter components would allow for non-plaintext data to be searched. But I agree - either make them work properly or remove them from the feature. A search that doesn't always search, isn't um... too useful. :) /ravi My new year resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | My .NET bits | Freeware ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

I installed the 64-bit version as a test, and it only complained after 2 months that I should activate.

Nevermind, got it sorted using the professional version of xxcopy on evaluation. This is what I did... Stuck pro version of xxcopy somewhere on my HD (H: drive) Booted windows 7 CD 32-bit version (couldn't find the 64-bit version of xxcopy) and went into the command prompt Ran H:\Installers\General utils\XXCopy\xxfw3000\xxcopy.exe and "installed" to "H:\Installers\General utils\XXCopy\XXCopyPro32Installation" Went over to that installation dir and ran... xxcopy E:\Users H:\Junctions\UsersWin7XXCTest /H /K /KCFS /KCDS /E /I /V /SC Renamed E:\Users to E:\OldUsersDir Created junction E:\Users targetted at H:\Junctions\UsersWin7XXCTest using mklink with the junction option. Booted up Win7, everything seemed fine with correct permissions and attributes etc. Only weird thing is the directory "OldUsersDir" shows as "Users" still in explorer, so there are 2 folders (a junction and a real folder) both called "Users" in the root. If I rename the Users folder from explorer to, say, RenamedFolder, it still continues to appear as Users in explorer but gets the new name "RenamedFolder" if I do a dir command in the command prompt. I've no idea why this is, but I've not got the hang of the Win 7 explorer yet.

I'd use a boot cd (Knoppix/UBCD4Win) to see if it's the hardware or maybe the drivers loaded with Windows that are causing the problem.

Personally I hate it every time I have to regress to Office 2003 (some computers at work, etc.), but I'm with you on the whole having to search for common functions bit. It didn't take that long to get used to though, and once used to the "new way" the "old way" is preposterously tedious. //L

No, I've never needed one. Some way of getting symbolic debug information (PDB files) would be nice though.
