Hi Catherine,

Ctrl + f brings up another pane on the left which is the
same as the normal XP Search.  However the "Look In:" field
SHOULD contain the folder name.

At least in certainly does for me here.

Hello all,

Please can someone explain how to search for any pdf files
within a given folder in Windows XP?

On ME, I used to navigate to that folder using My Computer,
then press control f; then in the file name field typed
*.pdf.  But it seems different in Windows XP - I navigated
to the folder, pressed control f; then pressed space on the
documents button; typed *.pdf and it searched the whole
drive.
