I tried typing bidule and the only thing that comes up is top level folders but not whats in them. So folders named bidule, audio units components named bidule but nothing with the extensions .bidule. The .bidule files are located 2nd level down in my applications folder. So my next question is - How do I have QS index my entire computer. ?
Also, I type the name of the file into QS and the desired file was not in the list at all. Is there some setting I've possible touched that isn't allowing QS to search properly or was QS not designed for something as basic as finding a file. Thanks On Aug 2, 12:32 pm, "Jon Stovell (a.k.a.
