How to do in Vista what was simple in XP Saturday, March 7, 2009 at 1:14 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by NigelHH (1324 messages posted) Is there a website detailing the main differences between Vista and XP? I mean for users, not the Microsoft blurb about how Vista is better... For instance: In XP, you could search for a file name, and optionally search for contents within the file. In bl**dy Vista, you have only this search box, and have to change options to stop searching within files. I reckon XP was better in this respect. I am trying to search for all the files named "thumbs.db". Vista has been searching for about 20 minutes now, and is finding every file named "thumbs..db" and also every file that contains the string "thumbs.db". Is there any easy way around this - a "classic" search that reproduces the XP behaviour? No third pary products please...
