    Search doesn't show the filepath

    Search doesn't show the filepath!

    I'm using Vista Business 32bit on a Toshiba Satellite Pro laptop. This seems a very basic matter - you Search for something, and you find it - but you don't know where it is because unlike good old XP there's no filepath! I have tried checking "show full filepath" in the folder properties, and I've tried selecting "Path" in the right column dropdown in the window. I trained on XP for years, but I'm a recent convert to Vista.

    Hello Lionheart, and welcome to Vista Forums.

    Strange, you should have the full path with the Path column. Double check to make sure that you have Details set as the folder view (View - Details).

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn
