Hi Debra, I use a little program called Tweakui which once installed helps
you to search your computer in the same fashion that you were used to in the
old days of windows 98 and maybe even DOS.  You can find it on the JFWlite
home page which I paste the address below, there is also a helpful hint on
how to set it up so you can search, hope this helps, Judy
