  On the Win XP Pro SP2 box I'm tying this on right now, the built-in
"Search" finds a string in TEST.TXT and TEST.ASP, but not TEST.CSV or
TEST.FOO.  FINDSTR finds all four.

  Apparently, despite the fact that I told "Search" to look for files
matching *.*, Search still only searches some file extensions.
Thanks, Microsoft!

  I'm remember Vista working the same way, but don't feel like firing
up a VM to check.
