Hi:
Is there a way to have XP search for a file in, say, My Documents or Program as most of what I want is stored in these 2 folders? I get impatient waiting while many files/folders are searched.
Failing this are there any shareware or even FREE programs that I could use?

In the XP search, under the "Look IN" drop down menu, select the My Documents or Programs folder.
It's that simple :D
But, Big Booger:
When I go Start > Search I get no Look In drop down menu.
What I do get follows:
What do you want to search for?
Pictures, music or video
Documents (word processing, spreadsheets)
All files or folders
Computers or People.
Information in Help and Support Center.
