I'm new to XP and am getting a little frustrated when
using the "Search" option. (Searching on "My Computer")
I'm used to Win 98 and when doing a search on 98 the
results would show the WHOLE .ZIP or .RAR files in their
compressed form. When using XP's search it shows the
files INSIDE the compressed files and not the full
compressed file. This is a pain when trying to clean up
duplicate compressed files or for just trying to find a
certain compressed file. After searching you get maybe 50
results showing, but you may only have 5 compressed files
with all those 50 files inside them. Tried and tried to
find an option to stop this. Surely there IS one some
where...hopefully.
Thanks for any help out there.
