Seen this problem in previous posts but none of the fixes that work for some are working for me...such as indexing, file types, checking to search file contents. Have no problem with XP but Vista is useless. When I need to search folder contents for words, the only results I get are from .pdf files or words in a title. My .rtf and .wps files are indexed. I read the SP1 download was supposed...

When I open the MS System Information app that comes with Vista it starts up with a very large initial view - almost the entire extent of my 1680x1050 screen. All the other MS system apps remember and restore the view size when the app is closed and restarted - but, on my system, msinfo32 doesn't, always restarting at this large size. Can anyone tell me if there is an easy way to force the app...
