Hello
In Windows XP, I could search for a word in some text files.
How can I do that in Vista?



Thanks

Please I need your help.

This does not work for me. I get as far as:

> Start > Search

and there is nowhere else to go, no further options.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I don't know where I'm supposed to be when I first go to tools.
I figured an folder explore window, but I could not find a tools menu. That
is how one gets to folder options in XP.

I'm new to Vista, and feeling a bit lost... things appear and disappear
seemingly randomly.

Thanks
Michael

Hi, Michael.

I think Bob was starting from a Windows Explorer window, with the Menu Bar
displayed; this has a Tools button. If you don't see the Menu Bar in
Windows Explorer, you can turn it on momentarily by pressing <Alt> or
(semi-)permanently by clicking Organize | Layout and checking that
selection.

Another way to get there is to click Start | Control Panel | Folder Options.
