Hi,
I got a new, faster computer, changed from NT 4.0 to XP
and moved a lot of program files to the new hardware.
Now I have to change all PRG, SCX and other programfiles,
where the former drive E:\ occurs, to C:\ and as known
from NT I started searching them with the assistent using
the options 'all files and directorys',
filename '*.*', 'scan subdirs' embedded word 'E:\',
ignore case.
My problem is only the TXT, DOC and HTM are shown
correctly in the search result, but not the other files I
need to change!
Can anybody help me to get proper results - Thanks!
