You could try adjusting the search preferences to not use the index. Also try Google Desktop. If you know part of the name and the file or directory is not hidden, you could do something like this from the command prompt: cd \ dir/s *something*.doc

There is a folder and some files that I am sure I did not delete from one of my older hard drives, but I can not locate them, and the search function is not helping. This isn't the first time this has happened. Someone told me that it is likely that it's due to a glitch in Windows, that it is not seeing the folder or files. I hope that's the case... Is there a way to search for files without using the search function in Windows? Problem is, I don't remember the name of the folder or files am looking for, but I'll recognize it when I see it. Using XP..
