I never used kfind before, but it looks just like the gui I said someone should wrap around find and grep. The kde people are always one step ahead of me 8^). My kfind shows up where you said in the menu, and also under the Actions section of the menu as Find -> Find Files. I have some other useful stuff there, like Quick Browser (turns your whole home directory into a nested menu) and Terminals. I don't remember what I did to get those on there, though. I remember that they weren't on the default menu. -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine.
