If you change the starting point to the root of a drive (i.e., C:\*.ext, or C:\file.*, or whatever) and check the "Search all subdirectories" box, it does the same thing WITHOUT VBRUNx00; I dunno about search speed, but it does the job. Also, the resulting window can be used as a drag and drop source, just like a normal drive window (if View|All File Details is checked, it also shows the size, date, time, and attributes). Of course it won't search for text inside files, but there's always gnu grep... ------------------------------------------+---------------------------- David M.
