[gui-talk] searching in windows 7

[Rasmussen, Lloyd]

As they say, "Google is your friend."  It might be necessary to set up a custom search, but perhaps setting Windows Explorer to the root of the hard drive would be sufficient.  I don't know how to limit to just filenames and wildcards, but Custom probably comes into play, here, also.  You might start your explorations at

I haven't mastered this in Windows 7, either, but this might help.  I think you use Window-Eyes.  If you haven't listened to Doug Geoffray's Windows Vista tutorials, available on the GW Micro site in MP3 format, check out some of them.  They are playable on an NLS DTB player if you put them inside the audio+podcasts folder.

Is there a way to use the search function in Windows 7 home premium 64 bit to search the entire hard drive?  If so please advise how to do it.
