    XP Find Shenanegans

    Hi all

    On my XP laptop it has recently stopped bringing up the main find files and folders window. Not too much of a pain, but i just wondering if anyone knew why its happened, and how to fix it.

    TIA!

    PS is that the right spelling of shenanegans??

    I can't help you with the find problem, but this:

    http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=shenanigans

    is the correct spelling, lol.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    What actually happens when you click the search button in the start menu?

    lol thanks kez!

    Hi Jiff, nothing at all happens. The laptop seems to slow to a crawl for 5-10 seconds and then comes back up to full speed. There is nothing in the task manager either.

    Dont use M$ find. It 'misses' files like java source code (try it). How they get away with it I will never know.

    Anyway, this is a far superior replacement IMHO...
