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.

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.
