This probably has a simple answer.
It used to be easy to search for a type of file with xp; I'd type in *.tiff and it would pull up all the tiffs in whatever location I told the computer to look. Supposedly Vista has a better search system. But when I did an advanced search and asked it to look for all the tiffs in my external hard drive, it came up with only a handful. I had to go hunting through the files myself to find what I was looking for. I even chedked the "include non-indexed, hidden, and system files" box.
What am I doing wrong???
