I have a wee VBS script that lets you enter the extension types you want to search, and it does the registry stuff for you....sorry MS, you totally screwed up the XP Search   Jeremy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Jason Coley Sent: Thursday, 14 November 2002 10:58 To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: [DUG]: Offtopic, WinXP Search and .pas files Hi there, just a small hint I found about WinXP and its search feature.   I sometimes use the windows search to search through files in a dir, and search for certain text in the file, well in WinXP apparently WinXP doesn’t know to search through .pas files, or any Delphi file for that case. But there Is a small hack that can be done in the registry to allow WinXP to read through .pas files.   Go to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pas   Add a key called PersistentHandler and change the default string to read {5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}   Then log off and then back on and Windows will then search through these files.   Just thought someone out there could use this?   Jay
