Does anyone know if it is possible to reconfigure the
search window in XP to resemble the search window in 98?
The XP search doesn't work for me as well as the 98
version. Thanks!

A fellow at alt.comp.freeware provided a reference for find.zip (88K)
an alternative that works very fast and searches system files,
subfolders, etc. without being prompted. Has a [Y2K?] problem
searching by date, so I use it as my primary Find area with XP as a
backup when I specifically need that function. Another advantage with
XP is its default of being able to look into .cab and .zip files,
which is useful at times.
