    XP File Search Refuses To Search .LDR Files! —Tore Eriksson
   Sorry for posting slightly off-topic, but the X-Pee thing drives me completely insane. I do a file search just like I always have done in previous systems, but in XP, the search fuction just refuses to search in .ldr files. I was looking for (...) (15 years ago, 20-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

     (...) Aah, nevermmind. I installed good old Total Commander and got a much better file search without bugs and foolishly grinning dogs. /Tore (15 years ago, 20-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

   (...) Thanks, Travis, I have already managed to chase that annoying dog away, it was just to right-click on him or so. Maybe I'll turn that whole assistant off, too.

   (...) I'm using WinGrep ((URL) and/or Copernic Desktop Search ((URL) for local searching, and have turned off all Windows indexing. Copernic is awfully fast (but it creates huge indexes), while WinGrep is better (IMO) for source code searches. The (...) (15 years ago, 22-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)
