mimeTypes.rdf

Note the 's'.

Yeap, my mistake. A Linux search for "mimeTypes.rdf" gives 70 results,
65 of which are on assorted Windows drives. As I typed, earlier, when I
got as far as typing "mim" the Windows Search results field was coming
up empty.

Does Windows only, natively, search the C:?? Nope, cause seven of the
(65) Linux search results are on my C:!!


Windows default is to search the currently selected location in Windows
Explorer.  In W7 there is a search entry box in Explorer in the upper
right.  It should have grey italic text saying: Search Media (H:)
(assuming you're on drive H:).

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.

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

It an Explorer window on any Windows system, one can easily reach into the application data folder realm by typing %APPDATA% in the address field and pressing Enter. It's hidden, but not protected.
