search for a file with a specific word in it by
JR
In XP (and previous versions of Windows) I was able to perform a wild-card
search of a drive, directory, folder while looking for a specific word.
I can not find how to do that in VISTA.
How do I search a drive for files with the words "Class I" in a powerpoint
file?
Thanks

XP Style search tool? by
Mickey Mouse

Problems with Vista backup program by
No Name
I've not been able to complete any file backups successfully
for about two months. Some of the error messages
suggest that I need to tell my antivirus program to stop
interfering with accesses to wherever the list of previous
backups is stored - but so far I've had no success finding

I have found that a program C:\Windows\System32\sdclt.exe
seems to be responsible for...
