On the toolbar above the window, where you have the backwards and forwards arrows, there should be one marked "search", next to one marked "folders". Click the folders one and all should be well with the world... same goes for when you're exploring - either right click to search a specific folder, or press the search button on the toolbar.

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 The information in this e-mail is confidential and may also be legally privileged.
