Windows Explorer search issues
Hi,
I tried win 7 x64 ultimate and found compatibility issues with two legacy programs that I need to continue using so I moved to the 32 bit ultimate and they indeed worked in the compatibility mode.
I have found an issue migrating my email program (Pegasus) from my XP desktop to the laptop which has win 7. If I install a virgin Pegasus in win 7 I have no issues and it works fine. When I migrate my old folders and data to the same location in win 7 I have issues. It seems as if perhaps some data is being stored in a different folder than it used to be.
I have unhid operating files & folders to give me the maximum visibility of files and folders as possible and I looked in the roaming folder but see nothing relating to Pegasus. In Pegasus a folder has a suffix of .PMM and I thought if I searched for that suffix I would find where they are being kept but when I go to start and enter .PMM in "search programs and files" it searches the computer and finds none. I know there are at least 50 .PMM files on drive C which I brought over from the old Pegasus folder, I can see them in the folder but search does not find them. I did add the index search to see if that would help but it did not.
Ie: I searched for FOL065A6.PMM and it does not show in the search but the file exists in two folders on the C drive.
In the short time I used the 64 bit Ultimate I found the search was just like Vista which was crippled compaired to the ease in XP but it still worked.
So my question has two parts;
How does one search so that all files are scanned and reported?
Where else other than in the roaming folder might I look to find where these files are being relocated to in win 7 installations?
Thanks,
Gary
