[nfbcs] Windows 7 question

[Fred Wurtzel]

Hi Gary,

Yes, it works.  Sometimes you need to enter on "see more results."  It is
quite fast and it works for programs as well as files.  For instance, I hit
the Windows key tipe in w o and Microsoft Word pops into the box.  This may
work differently on your computer since it is sensitive to your particular
computer and it can change as you add or remove programs.

Definitely a timesaver.

warmest Regards,

Fred

Okay, you are telling me it will search not only document names but the
actual contents of the documents?

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.
