I just tried it on Vista and it does not search in hidden or system directories unless you do an advanced search & check "Include non-indexed, hidden and system files". And on this machine, c:\Users\Lee\AppData is marked as hidden. But you said W7, so .. give me a minute... blech! doesn't find any "mime*.rdf" files _and_ I can't find the option to search inside hidden or system directories. Open a command prompt & do c: cd \ dir mime*.rdf /s/p and it does find the files that way Regards, Lee _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
