[nfbcs] Windows 7 question

[Humberto Avila]

Also, within any folder on windows explorer, tab till you hear "search box
edit." and just type anything you are searching and press enter. For
example, if you do this from the  computer folder on the desktop, which is
like My Computer on windows xp, you will search your entire computer,
including any hard drives and flash drives you have. If you do this from
within the My Documents folder, you will search just that folder and any
subfolders you have.

Just hit the start key--which is like a search engine. Type in one word of
what you are looking for and Windows 7 will populate everything with that
word. Down arrow to go through your choices and just enter on what you want.
