search does not work

Hi... I have troubles with searchin in Windows Explorer
If I navigate to C:\Windows\System32\ and search for net*.sys, couple of
files in drivers\ are found. However, If I navigate to C:\Windows, no items
match my search. Why? How can I search through all files on my hard disk?

Where can I see which folder is now being searched?

Thanks,
Jan

Yes, otherwise it wouldn't find the files in drivers\ subfolder. Just try
it.

Re: search does not work

Not yet, since I don't have the tool. I will get today to broadband
connection and report it.
Happy to see that this is not only my case.
