True, you can configure the window, true you can type in the path you
want -- but to no avail. XP consistently comes up empty when asked to
find files that Win98 locates instantly. (I know this for a fact, as I
have duplicates of many old files on an old Win98 machine. Would that I
could locate the files that are only on the XP machine as easily.)
