| | Desktop Search Macros - How do I make them? In the Windows XP version of desktop search you could program shortcuts by using the "@" symbol (e.g. @docs,c:\Documents and Settings\justin\My Documents) (e.g. @mail,http://www.hotmail.com) This functionality does not seem to exist in the Vista Desktop Search. What am I doing wrong? How do I make shortcuts again? Did they take this feature out? PLEASE HELP! |

PLEASE HELP! > You can run a search and then save the search as 'search folder' eg kind:docs AND System.ItemFolderPathDisplay:"C:\Users\justin\Documents"* You could then also create a shortcut to that folder. -- Jon |
