Windows XP Find
I'm fed up with Windows XP's "Find Files or Folders" window. It drives me nuts having to use it. Is there any way to make it look like the old Win9x find? TIA

From TweakXP:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState Add a new string (REG_SZ) called "Use Search Asst" - set the value to "no" and you will have the classic win2000 search and none of that XP categorized nonsense, you dont even have to reboot! It will make it look more Win2000s Search than Win98's. |

Or you can download TweakUI for XP and check use "classic search in explorer".
