You need the standards button toolbar showing. Doing that will display a tool button for search and another for folders. John W.

So I press Ctrl-F and get the "Search Companion" where the tree-list of folders was. I then click on "All Files and Folders" and the Search form appears. I enter my criteria and click Search. My file is found and shows up in the right-hand pane of Windows Explorer. Now that I know where the file is, I'd like to go back to regular old Windows Explorer mode. How do I do that? What option or icon do I select to "put away" the search panes and return the Windows Explorer panes? I've never figured this out. I've always closed the Explorer and opened it again to "reset" it. -- Regards, Steve Erbach Scientific Marketing Neenah, WI www.swerbach.com Security Page: www.swerbach.com/security _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
