| 1193854 | 2011-04-12 21:35:00 | In Windows 7 the "search programs and files" box doesnt retain your previous entries like it did in Win XP Run box. Is there a way to turn this feature on ? |

Thanks GR8...However thats works to display search item results. If I were to visit a UNC path name e.g \\pcname\c$ and then using Win +F doesnt actually take me to the location, it merely searches for string literals and displays results. |

| 1193859 | 2011-04-12 23:03:00 | Yes it does - There will be several results, for example, I have a folder called Quotes - if I do a search for that,it will show the quote folder along with everything in that folder, including sub folders - If I click on any of them, it opens what ever it is I clicked on. See Screen shot - the top result is the folder I would have been looking for - double clicked it and it opens. |
