    Index zipped files?


    Hello all. I backed a up folder from my Win 7 HDD to external SSD as .zip file (using Backup Maker). Then I tried searching within the file, and no results (no surprise), but the suggestion came up to index it. Can Windows index .zip files, or was that just a generic message? Thanks.

    Hi 386DX,

    Sure can!

    Click the Start button and click on Computer.
    Press the ALT key and click Tools > Folder Options.
    Under the Search tab, check Include compressed files, and click OK.
