Re: Find files and folders

If you hit the ALT button and click EDIT, you will see FIND on the drop down
menu.
This is a little different from the original.

If you Hit the ALT button?
This is new to MS. Normaly you have to hold down the ALT key and then
HIT another key on the keybourd.
I did HIT the Alt button. Nothing happened

Re: Find files and folders

If you hit the ALT button you should see another bar just above the tool
bar, this has always worked in XP & Vista as well as in Windows 7.

If you use Everything Search instead you'll find your hard drive doesn't run on all the time. Everything Search is free and only works on NTFS partitions. It uses the file system journaling to get updates of file system changes instead of API notifications that cause your drive to be indexed yet again.

Way better.
Unless of course you are not running NTFS.

Re: Find files and folders

Hi, Desmond.

The WLM Team decided that the familiar Menu Bar was just wasted real estate,
so they decided to hide it, by default. Many WLM users still haven't found
out how to show it, and we get questions about it every day.

To show the Menu Bar temporarily, just press <Alt>. To toggle it on
semi-permanently, use <Alt>=M, M.

This is the Menu Bar (with File, Edit, View, etc.), which is not the same as
the customizable Toolbar. I don't recall the default buttons on the Toolbar
because I changed them long ago; mine currently starts with New, Reply
group, Forward, Print...
