| | Re: Searhing text files contents 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.

| | Re: Searhing text files contents 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. RC -- R. C.
