Mistyping filenames in Explorer when navigating - how to reset
I typically maneuver through Windows Explorer by typing the first couple of characters in the file/folder I want. Sometimes I hit the wrong key, and I then want to reset the search buffer (for lack of a better word) so that I can start typing it again.
Back when using Windows XP, this was super simple, hitting any arrow key reset the search, and I could start typing again. But in Windows 7, it rather dings every time I hit a key after mistyping, and arrow keys don't make any difference, it still retains whatever error I typed. As far as I can see, the only way to reset is to wait for a couple of seconds, which is quite annoying, particularly when I don't wait quite long enough and hitting the key makes it retain it even longer.
Can someone tell me any way to reset this? Perhaps there is a setting for how long it should wait before automatically resetting, or some key I can hit to start over immediately?
