Alternatively, you could try Google's Desktop Search application, very good
indeed! Or the MSN Search Tool, I think that what it's called, though I haven't
used it so I don't know how accessible it is. Sorry don't have any links to
download either of those programs...

The way I use the XP search is as follows:
Windows key + f to get into the search
Tab once to *Documents, word processing, spreadsheets, etc* and hit enter
Tab once to *All or part of the document name* and type in the first few
letters of the file I am looking for and hit enter
When it finishes searching, I then tab round to *Folder list view* and arrow
down the list until I find the file I'm looking for
If it's not there, I can either tab to search again or alt +f4 to exit

Hi, I am trying to locate a file I have lost. I have tried using the search
facility under windows explorer XP but find it very difficult to use with Jaws
5. If I have a piece of text/file name/date modified what is the quickest way
to find it? Is there a simpler way to do this than trying to navigate this
dialogue box - I have had to use the Jaws cursor to find things etc. Perhaps
something using a Dos command or is that too retro. Thanks John Pimm
