Am I wasting my time?? I'm not certain, but I think that only searches for installed programs under All Programs on the Start menu, and for files in your Documents, Pictures, Music, etc. folders. I'm not sure if it includes AppData, or other locations. From a quick try on Windows Vista it appears not. On Windows Vista, when you start typing in that search box a couple of other options appear above it to Search Everywhere or Search the Internet. Microsoft's definition of everywhere doesn't seem to match mine though, as Search Everywhere only searches under my Windows profile folder (under C:\Users\Mark\), and doesn't even seem to include everything there! If I click Start, enter name:mimetypes.rdf in the search box, and click Search Everywhere, it searches in C:\Users\Mark\ but doesn't find anything. If I open an Explorer window, navigate to C:\Users\Mark\ and enter name:mimetypes.rdf in the search box there, it does find that file (this may be dependent on having hidden files made visible, as Paul mentioned). (As an aside, prefixing the search term with name: restricts the search to files and folders whose name matches the search term, and does not search in the contents of files, so may be faster if you just want to find files with a particular name.) Lee mentioned a tick box under the advanced search options (from Explorer, click Search Tools Search Pane, then Advanced Search in the new bar which appears) to Include non-indexed, hidden, and system files. There are also more options under Search Tools Search Options. So there's a few more somewhat hidden options which may affect what's actually searched! Individual folders can be included or excluded from the search index, which may or may not prevent them from being searched at all depending on those other options. All in all, personally I don't trust Windows Explorer's file search to look everywhere. Too many options in too many different places, and you can even select folders to include or exclude from the search index. If it doesn't find a file I'm expecting to find, rather than assuming it doesn't exist I tend to fall back to the command prompt as Lee suggested. All the above is on Windows Vista.

I just invoked it (F3) from the desktop and it opened an Explorer window and began searching EVERY location below that. Every physical and logical and network drive. Two points on searches in Win7 Windows Explorer: 1) To the left of the search window, extending across most of the screen, is a pull-down that lets you specify a particular directory (and all its contents). Unfortunately, the listed items are just recently visited folders. But each of the elements of the path is clickable. The default is Computer, which searches everywhere. A more convenient way to search a particular directory is to begin by navigating to it in WE, and /then/ enter the search string. You will notice that the blank search window says Search foldername, where foldername is the current folder name. 2) To search for hidden and system files, you must begin by unhiding them: Organize (button at far left), Folder and Search Options, View tab, enable the radio button Show hidden files, folders, and drives. The usual warning to clumsy users who might inadvertently delete or rename such files applies. FWIW, the search string mime*.rdf produced one hit in my SeaMonkey profile and a bunch on my backup drive (various earlier versions). -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.

Restart SeaMonkey and then try the link. You should then get the popup allowing you to select always ask. In the newly created mimeTypes.rdf file you then should find an entry similar to this: /RDF:Description RDF:Description RDF:about=urn:mimetype:handler:application/x-bzip NC:alwaysAsk=true NC:saveToDisk=true NC:externalApplication RDF:resource=urn:mimetype:externalApplication:application/x-bzip/ ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
