On the start menu, right click on the magnifying glass at the search line,
and click on the start menu customize button. Scroll down until you find
Search Files, and make sure the Search entire index button is pressed. Also
make sure you take ownership (file properties, advanced) of all your old
files, as a search will only return items your "user" owns. (Else you'd be
able to see files from other users on your machine, and that wouldn't be
very secure!)
