search problems

[Elaine McMonagle]

Here is my question...

When using Windows 2000, I could go into a program, ie:
Excel, go to open file and then type in ANY part of a word
I believe is in the file name.
This would provide a "search" within the folder and I
could choose my file.

Now that I have XP Professional I no longer have this
option.
Is this simply a setting I am missing or is the a problem
with XP?

Can someone help me?

XP search is not world class, but this utility is - and it's free...
