Hi guys -- when something's not broken why fix it as the Engineers say -- I haven't yet been able to get the Library management / search facility to work properly. It might be OK if you just want to look for documents / pictures etc but I'm always "Hot swapping" discs (often quite large one's - 750 Gb - 1TB).
All I want to be able to do is just "Find file" in a free text form like find files named *.dog on DRIVE F only say.
There doesn't seem to be any way to do this --or if there is could someone please explain how to do it.
I'm using Build 7000 both X-32 and X-64.
The Library idea is fine in principle but trying to "Dumb everything down" doesn't always work.
It did seem to work in the M3 build (pre 7000) after a fashion but I don't have that any more so I can't show the screen shots.
This is the ONE feature on W7 that I REALLY HATE. However it's not (at the moment) a show stopper for me but could be later if I can't find files in a quick, timely and easy fashion.
Cheers

Actally replying to my own post -- it does work but it's an abomination.
You enter the name of the file for example *.tib (Acronis backup files for example) and then yo get another screen where you can refine the search.
Still prefer the original XP search system however
