    Need help with Windows 7 Search Results Viewing


    When I look for a file in windows 7's search, i get the file, but I don't get the file's actual location (like c:/desktop/documents/music... etc). I just get the file and it's kinda pointless if i need to search for a file every single time i need it. Someone told me that i should just click the file, then properties, then details, but that seems like needing to go too far for something simple.

    this is a search result for example:



    is there a way i can change the settings to produce the actual file with the location under it or something?

    Follow this tutorial:
    Just right click on the tabs where you see, Name, Date Modified, etc tabs and then go to "More"


    And then look for the Location option and check its box.


    its done, now you would see the location of the files as well.
