While I haven't tried Windows 7 Windows Live Desktop Search 4.0 Deluxe 64-bit or whatever its latest incarnation is called, I've often had the Windows search functions miss stuff in plain text files. (That does include whatever comes with Vista.) I don't know if it's just because Windows only considers *.TXT to be text or what, but it's burned me more than once. I now use FINDSTR when I actually want to find something. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
