Then in the Search box on the Start menu, type "midnightlighting.et",
and Windows would be performing an incremental search of all the files
on your hard drive. Even if you don't know the title of the file, it
would be brought up in the list, you just have to open one of these and
get the mail.
Alternatively, you can choose to also run a Google Desktop Search
program: this will link to the file and you will open it like any other
page on the internet.

No, that is the problem. I must have close to a hundred html files in a
folder. In one of these html files is my old generic email address. I
want to change it since it will become invalid next year. I thought that
I had all of them changed. Looking for an easy way to identify what file
has the midnightlightning.net address.

I assume you know the title of the HTML file, and that the file is on
your hard drive.
Since you are using Win7, just type in the name of the person who sent
the email or any string that points to that. After doing so, don't press
the enter key yet: instead just use your Down arrow key to move through
the results. Your best bet would be the email would be detected in the
(files) section of the search list. After you get the name of the HTML,
that is when you press the ENTER key to load the page.

I am using win 7 32 bit. Somewhere in one of the many html files for
my web page I have an old email address. Is there a way that I can
search the folder for a specific word in the address so I can update
it? It would be a long time consuming task to search each file.
