| | Shortcut to Search Window Hi All, I'm running Vista Ultimate 64-bit including Service Pack 1 and all current updates. In Windows Explorer, there is a search box at the upper right but it only performs a simple search. After the search results appear, there is an "Advanced Search" link at the bottom of the list that allows searching by date, size, etc. But I can't get to the advanced search unless I do the basic search first, which is a waste of time. Is there a way to bring up the advanced search window by creating a desktop shortcut or other method? I can't find anything in the Windows Explorer menu or toolbars to open the advanced search. Windows "Help" is no help as usual. Thanx, Key Bored |
