Hi All,

One of our users has recently changed from OS from Win2k to XP.

Under Win2k/Win98, you could search via the OS for specified text
strings and apply a file type filter, e.g. *.pro

No More! Win XP restricts the search to .txt files.

Yes, SP1 added a whole swag more file types, but not .pro's.

See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;309447
for Bill's logic.

Is anyone aware of a workaround for this?

Andrew
