Don't feel too bad, that is bizarre behavior for jarsigner on Vista.
The same thing happened to me, so I made some notes to prevent getting
surprised should something like that happen again. I don't know if
Vista is at fault or if it is some attempt by the JDK to follow a
peculiar Windows convention.

Regarding the search, you do have to be careful with the search
options or it'll miss some folders, including those in the application
data branch. I use Vista out of some necessity, but I am not an
apologist for Microsoft.
