That's the only puppy I've ever wanted to kick. > why the hell it can't just accept that i want the "search system" to treat > WHATEVER FILES I TELL IT TO as text files i'll never know. Yes! It LETS YOU PICK ANY FILE SPEC, but it doesn't tell that it won't search inside those files. How stupid is that? Especially since the search assistant worked fine in W2K!! > so does that registry patch mean i'd have to do it for EVERY type of file i > want to search in? bah, i'll make my own. Well, it works for *.txt, but not for .c, .h, .bas, .php, ... etc. You can add files using that reg fix just by changing the extension. Seems like a lot of work to me. Hasn't any programmer at Microsoft noticed this yet? At the MS XP General Support forum, the "Why doesn't the Search work?" question occurs once for every three other questions. XP must not be for Real Programmers. I bet the engineers at Microsoft are secretly using Linux and XP is just their little joke on the rest of us. - Bill Thoen --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 10578
