Once I start navigating deeper into the structure it calls it the real name which is my username. I tested with a second user whose home directory is in the same root as mine on...

I tried to set-up all my subfolder directories all with the same layout in Vista Ultimate, by selecting: Tools, Folder Options, and View. Or: Organize, Folder & Search, and View.

Perhaps there's another way, or this feature doesn't work, although it...

I tried "Search" but it didn't help. Thank you. Gaylin

In Windows Vista, I am frustrated that I cannont conduct a "find exact phrase" search of all of the documents on a CD-ROM. This was easy in Windows EP, using Advanced Search -- it was possible to search the contents of the files on a CD-ROM with Word doucments, pdf documents, and HTML documents. Now I can't.
