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

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..
