Bob,
Nope, that also brings up the dialog with all those buttons. And when you exit,
you blow away Windows Explorer.
Nope I still prefer the Alt-F and "E" as the best way for me.

An even quicker short cut for XP is f3 when in an explorer window or on the
desktop.

Too many extra steps in this process for me. Since I am already in Windows
Explorer when looking for files and folders, I find Alt+f and "E" for search is
much quicker to the edit field to enter the file name. I don't like having to
select from multiple buttons one or two times to get to the edit field.
Then when I'm done with the search and Alt+f4 out, I'm back in Windows
Explorer. The other method leaves me with no focus and dumps Windows Explorer.
I guess it's all a matter of what you prefer, what you're used to, and
what's fastest for you.

I assume you meant Windows-f, the windows find utility which is
dreadfully "SLOW". I'm looking for something that will index the files and
locate a file quickly, similar to the Vista search feature. Thanks anyway,
Kathye

Hit Windows key C, enter on "files and folders," arrow down to "all
files and folders button," type what you have and hit enter. Tab to the window
and see what has appeared.

Can anyone reccomend an accessable utility that can be used to
"quickly" find a file given a partial file name. I am using XP and JAWS7.
Thanks, Kathye
